"An extraordinary article, one wonders what it was written at all."

Response by guest (who?): to get it off his conscience.

[Carolinamom]

Michael Barone speculates that he must have wanted to get it off his chest. A bit late, isn't it?

Recounting Jordan's statements in Garfield interview

CNN should not have had anyone portraying Hussein as "beloved" when his boss knew exactly what was going around in the country.

[Drumbo]

Michael Barone is unloading; Mort Kondrake calls CNN's claims of integrety "A FAT LIE".

[goodnesswins]

What about the anchors back in Atlanta or NY....

"classic example of selling your soul to the story"

[CheneyChick]

Bingo - "classic example of selling your soul for the story".

[nicmarlo]

CNN International has, essentially, been the Al Jazeera (by Mort)

"Classic example of selling your soul for the story." (by guest, don't know name)

[texasbluebell]

Brit calling this an extraordinary article.

Michael Barone: sounds like he wanted to get something off his chest, conscience bothering him.

Mort: flat lie to NPR.

Charles Krauthammer: classic example of selling your soul for the story.

[goodnesswins]

"Today is happening in the Palestine territories...." what CNN did?

[Carolinamom]

Their guest is Charles Krauthamer......one of the best.

[goodnesswins]

AND, that's it for the panel!!!!

[cyncooper]

Is it better to document these stories or to have your whole baghdad staff killed? What would be better for your concience?

This is simple.

CNN should have pulled out of Iraq and told the world what it knew. By all means, make every effort to pull families out, etc. to get as many innocent as you can.

Brit Hume just reminded us of the fairly recent "election" of Saddam Hussein which was such a sham. However, the reporter informed the CNN viewers of the "reverence" Iraqis supposedly had for their leader.

And clearly CNN was portraying GWB as the madman for wanting to go to war. They wanted "containment", they still are mis-representing facts, and they still retain the abominable Christiane Amanpour, who probably knows ever MORE horror stories, and still she clearly views the U.S. as the bad guy.

[Carolinamom]

Has anyone checked CNN to see IF they even reported/confessed?

[FreeperinRATcage]

Relax....this story is just getting started. Do your part to spread the word...give this sucker legs.

If we ever needed proof of a deliberately biased and corrupt news media...this is it.

NEW MRC STUDY FINDS CNN’S CUBA COVERAGE A “MEGAPHONE FOR A DICTATOR”

[The Hon. Galahad Threepwood]

Barone was a little wimpy; I think Kondracke and Krauthammer hit it on the head.

[CheneyChick]

CNN made the classic Clintonian mistake of taking the public for stupid.

[Drumbo]

That was short, but they managed to lob a few bunker busters. Previous "fat lie" from Mort should have read "flat lie"!
