They aren't even worth such consideration. These people have proven, once and for all, that today's yellow journalists would sell their own friends out for a story. They are beneath contempt, and burning in hell isn't good enough for them.
Yes. It makes me sick. What a great apology. Thanks, Eason. I can really see Edward R. Murrow echoing this -- "Well, the possibility of an interview with Hitler or any of the high-ranking members of the Nazi party was simply too tantalizing to risk letting the rest of the world know about all those concentration camps we had documented evidence of."
THEY LET A CAMERAMAN BE TORTURED, they WITHELD INFORMATION that could have shifted public opinion before the war in our favor, and now Eason wants me to feel sorry for him, or, rather, elated that he can now "truly" tell his story? I mean, it goes without saying that they also allowed terror, murder, and general capital-E Evil to be perpetrated under their noses to keep their Baghdad office open -- or that's the current line, we'll see what develops out of this.
Go peddle that crap somewhere else, Eason.
I wonder what kind of biz ties Turner has in that region that have nothing to do with "getting the story", as well. Very, very MUCH wonder.
Any way you look at it though -- what reprehensible bastards. Back to my CNN boycott. How stupid of me to lift it for a bit during the war. And needless to say, CNN has a few nasty emails waiting from me.
They need to be help accountable for this. If the life of ONE American was put at risk because of CNN's reckless disregard for the laws of civilization...they have a lot to answer for. Or, as far as I'm concerned, SHUT UP about.
