Here is an e-mail I sent Hugh -

Hugh, with the revelations that CNN knew of certain bad deeds by Saddam and company for years. And with the knowledge that CNN also enjoys the nickname of Clinton News Network, one can but wonder just what Clinton knew and when did he know it.

For example, did CNN have a heads up on the Cole?
Did CNN have a heads up on 9-11. What did they know and when did they tell Bill?

I can only believe that Billy Jeff has had knowledge of all of these incidents and chose to keep his mouth shut for purely political purposes.

Treason from Arnett? Maybe. Treason by WJC? I would bet on it.

great - Bill O'Reilly (who's covering it tonight

I called in to a local radio talk show, and tried to bring up CNN's lies, and the liberal media host wouldn't talk about it.

He is constantly defending the major media, and thinks he is getting the real news.

If their are found to be criminal, can a stockholder also be held accountable?

Stockholders are shielded from such things. Capitalism wouldn't work very well otherwise, but lawyers would love it. Stockholders only liability is market losses.

CNN's "chief news executive" confessed that, among other things, Saddam's crazy son Uday had told Eason in 1995 that he, Uday, intended to assassinate two of his brothers-in-law. The two men were not warned by CNN and were eventually lured back into Iraq where they were murdered.

Stupid question time. Could Eason be charged as an accessory to the two men who were murdered, either here OR in Iraq(once they get some kind of government? If not crimanial then civil suit be brought against him?

CNN claims it 'broke' the Abu Abbas capture news. Since it's likely that they've known his whereabouts for years, their claim makes little sense. Everything they report causes me to now ask - what did they know, and when did they know it.
