<<CNN is the most credible news source in the world.>> don't go retreating to your ovine roots. No news outlet can be wholly believed, credited, accepted, etc. they are all biased in one way or another. Besides, CNN discredited itself with its pre war reporting from Iraq, where it acted as nothing more than a Saddam puppet. mywebpages.comcast.net <This sensitivity makes the guilty admission by Eason Jordan, Chief News Executive at CNN, on the New York Times Op-Ed page so amazing. Now that Coalition forces have crushed Saddam Hussein's repressive regime, it appears that the Iraqi people were not the only ones freed. Unfettered, Jordan now informs us of the ``news we kept to ourselves,'' about ``the awful things that could not be reported'' lest CNN loose its Baghdad Bureau and Iraqis working on the CNN staff be tortured or killed. Eason admits they CNN knew about and did not report on the intention of Hussein's oldest son, Uday, ``to assassinate two of his brothers-in-law who had defected.'' CNN knew, but did not report to the public that some in the Iraqi leadership believed that Hussein was a ``maniac who had to be removed.''>
