1. CNN, and all responsible news agency, do not report things like this that could endanger someone's life, regardless of which side of a conflict they happen to be on.jegs2 wrote:Read this information about CNN hiding information until after the fall of Baghdad. From the article:
Thoughts?I came to know several Iraqi officials well enough that they confided in me that Saddam Hussein was a maniac who had to be removed. One Foreign Ministry officer told me of a colleague who, finding out his brother had been executed by the regime, was forced, as a test of loyalty, to write a letter of congratulations on the act to Saddam Hussein. An aide to Uday once told me why he had no front teeth: henchmen had ripped them out with pliers and told him never to wear dentures, so he would always remember the price to be paid for upsetting his boss. Again, we could not broadcast anything these men said to us.
2. CNN, and all responsible news agencies, do not report things that they cannot confirm from at least two different sources.
