I agree with Newt Gingrich who said this article should have been entitled, "Lies we told the world" instead of "The News We Kept to ourselves".

It's absolutely stunning a news executive at CNN would carry the propaganda lies of Saddam Hussein's despicable regime when they *knew* first hand of the atrocities happening there.

What other lies has CBS told us in order get an interview from Hussein? What other lies are we being told about life in Cuba under their dictator in order to keep a news outlet operating there?

Being a propaganda puppet of evil should not be what news reporting is all about. They should report the truth and if they can't handle reporting the truth, because, a gun is being held to their head, they should get the hell out of the news business and stop pretending America and evil, should be treated objectively the same.

Can you imagine CNN keeping it hidden from the world that one of their cameramen was tortured by our military leaders?

I also wonder how many votes would have been changed in congress, at the U.N. and throughout the world, had they known the truth.

Absolutely chilling this admission is, it should be required study in every journalism class in America.
