CNN cannot buy their redemption with expost-facto confessions! They all deserve to be unemployed. They didn't report this because they didn't want to be forced out of Baghdad, where the lucerative news would be.
I, too, am seething. Besides the moral depravity of CNN in NOT doing anything, they compounded their utter crimes (yes, crimes) by giving face time to anti-war/Bush idiots. They ACTIVELY fought the efforts of the administration and Bush in particular to solve the problem of a murderous dictator.
This information cannot be permitted to fade away. CNN is now exposed to be even worse than we thought. Failure to report this news is morally reprehensible. Knowing what they knew and yet attacking our efforts to free Iraq from the horrors the people endured and suffered is even worse. A plague on them.
