I felt awful having these stories bottled up inside me. Now that Saddam Hussein's regime is gone, I suspect we will hear many, many more gut-wrenching tales from Iraqis about the decades of torment. At last, these stories can be told freely.

I don't give a dam how you felt if you didn't have the guts
to act and do the right thing.

Another liberal says,"We knew all along, but we HAD to be silent!"
Bull crap.

Note to CNN, you were FREE to tell the truth all along.

I'm so glad Brian started C-Span's Washington Journal by reading this column.

I'm speechless at the revelation. Speechless.

But think of the political implications. CNN didn't operate in a vacccum. CNN honchos were solid FOBs, personal friends of the Clintons who spent nights in the White House. Clinton had to know of CNN's decision not to report the truth of what was happening in Iraq.

This is a case of the media shaping history. This guy claims CNN was being blackmailed. This is no doubt true, but how convenient that the result was so convenient for Bill Clinton.

We've called CNN "The Clinton News Network" for years...we had no idea how true it was. CNN not reporting on Iraq allowed Clinton to get away with doing nothing on human abuses, but ask the next logical question: What other news on Iraq was CNN not reporting in order keep reporters there? Did CNN not report Oil for Food abuses? Did CNN not report illegal French and Russian imports?
