He also has no morals, no ethics, and no principles. Jordan certainly has no regrets.

Neither does a murderer, a rapist, or a serial killer. That doesn't let them off the hook with God, though.

Of course it wouldn't have dawned on CNN to pull out of Iraq and announce that since they were not allowed to truthfully report the news they were leaving

Nah better to stay and act as a propaganda front rather than a news agency

Really sad thing is that they don't see a contradiction here

Fwiw, I saw him on Charlie Rose and the man is convinced that there were only 3 options:

1. Don't tell anyone... ever. 2. Tell folks at that time... and get an innocent person(s) killed. 3. Wait until the right time and then tell.

And he's convinced that he chose the noble of the three.

I am convinced that there was a 4th option and he didn't have the gut's to recognize it...
he should have got all of the CNN folks out of Iraq immediately and when they were safe, then he could tell the world!

But oh... that would have taken a pretty fair amount of intestinal fortitude and also a willingness to not have any more reports from Bagdad. Apparently he wasn't willing to 'go that far'

There is yet a 5th option:

Hope that, in some fashion, Saddam "wins". And there would never be a need to tell.

I sense that might have been CNN's preferred outcome.

He was a company man. The truth be damned. How can you clear a conscience that isn't there?
