That's what made me so furious. The bland assumption on Jordan's part that some pasty-faced, limp-wristed apology could begin to atone for the crimes his omission papered over. It's like tossing off the WTC attacks by saying, "We can build two more."

Complicity News Network

I still think there's more, and worse things than slanted reporting, to the CNN story. Journalists as couriers, perhaps? I also wonder why, after 12 years of pandering to Saddam, they were suddenly expelled from Baghdad. Cover?

Saddam loved to turn the knife, and once CNN got in too deep, it's easy to imagine a number of different, and ugly, scenarios.

One of Jordan's worst transgressions is that he failed to appreciate the freedoms his own nation affords the press as compared to the monstrosity he witnessed first-hand in Baghdad.

"The government we have the toughest time with is the U.S. government," Jordan said in 1999.

It's hard to defend a guy with a perspective like that.

In fact, it's impossible. All such reporting is a half-truth, and a very big lie. Of course, there is the fact of who was in power in Washington in 1999. But even so--compared with Saddam?

He and his network allowed a tyrant to enforce a tyrant's rules on a supposedly powerful American news organization whose currency is truth.

That's funny -- I thought it was socialism.

What did CNN know and when did they know it?

The bottom line is this: Sodamn Hinsane must have been pleased as all heck to have an outlet for his propganda in CNN.

Get it CNN? You did what he wanted. You assisted him. Picture him sitting at his desk saying "Give this to CNN"

My question is, if CNN did who else did?
