<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I would keep my mouth shut, wouldn't you?</div>

[Tessian]

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>Yeah Tort...I'm kinda confused as to why you'd have wanted them to report all this when it surely would have cost people their lives</div>

[Tessian]

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>And what, does FNC tell you of stuff like this and you like the idea of a new anchor every other week after the previous one and his camera man 'dissapeared' ?</div>

[EsquE]

<div style='font: 10pt Baskerville; text-align: left; '>What's the point of being a reporter if you're not going to report things? He probably could've saved lives if he reported these things earlier...instead he just did nothing and all of this is meaningless now...if he doesn't have the balls, then give the job to someone else..</div>

[Tortolia]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Exactly.</div>

[Tessian]

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>It's one thing to put yourself in danger,it's another thing entirely to put someone else's life at risk just for a fucking story. This same shit happened in the Soviet Union; reporting shit like this under a totalitarian dictator only gets you and your sources killed.

Doesn't have the balls? Fuck you man, I'd like to see you stand up there and say you would have No problem with reporting news that you know will end up getting a man tortured to death and even perhaps you. Shit, I'm the one here with little value for human life and I think that is horribly wrong. You know you lose your integrity as a reporter Very fast when all your past informants have 'dissapeared'</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Wonder how many places that is still going on? I wonder what else we aren't hearing. Iraq isn't the only brutal dictatorship in the world.</div>

[Zhuge Liang]

<div style='font: ; text-align: left; '>Ironic how you seem to value life again...</div>

[Tessian]

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>ironic? It's just poor journalism to get your sources killed-- you can't get new sources that way</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Baskerville; text-align: left; '>He has 2 responsibilities, to protect his sources AND report the truth...he did neither since it sounded like his sources were dying anyway...</div>

[EsquE]

<div style='font: 10pt Baskerville; text-align: left; '>Then he should've done something to protect his sources so he could get the truth out...sound instead like he did nothing and his sources were still dying despite his silence...</div>

[EsquE]

<div style='font: 10pt Baskerville; text-align: left; '>...do you really think his "sources" didn't know the risks? They of all people know what Saddam could do to them for simply being within 100 feet of an american journalist, and yet they risked that to tell him what was going on. And this idiot sat on it to protect himself, while he was in the least amount of danger. Saddam sure as hell wasn't going to murder a CNN reporter and risk that kind of backlash...he would have simply been forced to leave...this man did a grave injustice to every person that gave him information by not using it. They knew the risk and accepted it. They signed their death sentence by simply talking to a reporter, but maybe they felt their deaths and their stories would save millions of their countrymen. And this idiot sat on it...which served no purpose, least of all "protecting" his sources that all seemed to end up dead anyway...

...I used to want to be a reporter...the idea of bringing the truth to light in spite of the risks and the obstacles was something noble to me...this man isn't worthy to be called a reporter...</div>

At best, nobody gets killed and the reporters report news that we already knew anyway -- Saddam's regime is brutal and kills anyone they suspect of disolyalty. Most likely, the sources would have died along with dozens of collateral damage.</div>
