I just glanced at it minutes ago but when I tried to go back to it it said Service unavailable. There was a pic of Brown with Twin Towers burning in background (and references to his anchor coverage during 9/11); it was a memo from CNN to its employees, etc. Trying to get it back.
Oops, here it is! Got it back

Aaron Brown Is Leaving CNN; "He Will Be Missed;" Was He Forced Out?
This is the memo to CNN staffers:
To: All CNN Staff
From: Jon Klein
We have made some programming decisions which will impact our prime time schedule as well as our colleague Aaron Brown. Aaron will be leaving CNN and is very much looking forward to some well-deserved time off with his family.
brownnov2.jpgAaron has made enormous contributions to CNN since his groundbreaking anchoring of Sept. 11th through the war in Iraq to the Tsunami to the recent hurricanes. Outside of the big stories, on a nightly basis, Aaron has provided our audiences with insight into the events of the United States and the world with eloquence and the highest journalist integrity.
Besides his stellar work as an anchor, Aaron stands as an absolutely brilliant writer, evident by the thoughtful perspective he injects into every story he touches.
Personally, I will miss Aaron and his wicked sense of humor. We cannot thank Aaron enough for the skills and professionalism he brought to CNN. Given his respect throughout the industry, there is no question that he will be missed.
