So you think all the reporters that worked for CNN withheld vital information from the United States government?

1) They're an independent news agency. They're not there to report to the U.S. government.

2) The government knew all about this stuff long ago, and didn't need CNN to tell them anything.

3) It isn't exactly vital information.

You and I are miles apart about this; I happen to believe that the media in this country owes the people the truth, not what they PERCEIVE as the truth, and especially not what some rogue regime tells them to report or they have to leave the country.

CNN International makes its money by being allowed to broadcast in many statist countries around the world and it is these many statist countries from whose permission, they must get.
