Saddam hides like Rat in a Sewer...This whole mess makes me just sick and very angry. The very thought that Europe, many in the UN, and the Middle East let this guy create such a cesspool of evil and horror for so many years, in their own backyard, is repugnant to me, and I'm sure to most of us.

I'm sure that in the days and weeks to come that we will find much, much more of what happened.

Wonder how many other news services Management withheld what they knew about Saddam and his henchmen?

Eason Jordan can only have one saving grace, as far as I'm concerned. IF he told the CIA, and has proof that he was telling them what he knew, that would justify his silence for so long. Most of us are aware that Clinton cut the budget for "feet on the ground" and my guess is the government felt that we needed proof of what was happening.

IF he did not talk to the Government, then as far as I'm concerned, he could have shut down his bureau in Iraq and taken his people out with him.

How many people were killed over the last 12 years because he did nothing?

It would be interesting to go back over the Iraqi "CNN news" over the last several years, and see what was said. Or not said.
