The civilian, with a frozen smile on his face, kept saying "Please, please...." while struggling to get free of the reporter, obviously having heard many nightmare stories of what happens to people who are seen to have criticized Saddam. I saw that, it was deplorable.

(Remember the Iraqi who, in the early days of the war, after his town (Safwan?) was liberated, was brave enough to beat with his sandal on a poster of Saddam? Photo: story.news.yahoo.com Saddam's goons got him and killed him, then killed his grieving mother.) How do you know this? I am not doubting you, I just haven't heard or read about it anywhere. To hell with CNN. As to CNN: I don't watch CNN. There was always something cold about their reporters and reporting. It all seemed so orchestrated......the reporters in particular were/are robotic like. I watched a few times after hearing CNN referred to as the "Clinton News Network", and did notice a certain partiality. Since then I haven't taken the organization seriously......at least not until Eason Jordon's piece in the NYTs yesterday. Now I am taking the whole thing very, very seriously. And believe me, I am talking about it with people. M
