You bring up a great point. CNN didn't even cower enough for the Iraqis... so CNN had to go on 13 separate begging missions to stay in country (to not report the truth).

CNN did not report Uday raped 12 year old girls. They covered Saddam's birthday party. Those two facts alone tells you what kind of coverage they were able to bring the world.

By being in Baghdad, and not reporting the atrocities... CNN as "the world news leader" legitimized the government. If an "american" news organization isn't reporting that Uday is pulling his cronies teeth out with pliers, and electroshocking journalists in torture dungeons, it obviously is just American disinfo.

CNN needs to be ashamed, but I guarantee you, they really aren't.

I can't wait for the comments from Chris Hitchens, Andrew Sullivan, and Mark Steyn

Does anyone have a sponsor list for CNN? I think a boycott and emailing campaign is in order. This is truly sickening, degrading, and embarassing; not only to the American people, but to human beings in general as well.
