Bear in mind, also, that CNN was the news organization that admitted to covering up Hussein atrocities in an effort to keep their unit in Baghdad open. Of course they're in mourning... they're douchebags that cover up the truth in order to further their own gains.

You know my favorite part of that editorial? The fact that Jordan portrays themselves as being heroes for keeping the truth from the world. How ignorant that @$$monkey is to be in those shoes. Even worse, is the knowledge, that even if one or even a dozen people died, thousands, if not tens of thousands of other Iraqis could have survived...

Exactly. And to this day I'm sure he's totally clueless, as his rant at Davos about soldiers "targeting journalists" that got him fired a couple of years later showed.
That's the bottom line, I am afraid... CNN has sucked for many years, and it wasn't really until the beginnings of C-SPAN, that opened the way for Fox News, after Rush went on the air, that news actually began to flow from more then whatever a select few determined should be seen. Wonderful to see... all of it... wonderful. As un-morbid a person I am, I want to see the photos and video of the execution. The damned press needs to actually show that.

Fox, meanwhile, has a perfect pic at its home page (direct link to pic) -- images from a mass grave on the right and with an appropriate pic of Saddam on the left (not shown in the interest of bandwidth). THAT'S fair and balanced. :-->
I don't know about fair and balanced. Something more in keeping with Saddam's status as a mass murderer of epic proportions would be more appropriate. Tens, if not hundreds of thousands of lives lost at his hand.
Very fitting picture! I got this news from a friend I was talking to on the phone while driving home.. friend stopped mid-conversation and said Saddam is dead (the news she was watching cut in with it) .. while she was glad she did get onto her kids who were dancing and jumping about saying its sad that his soul is eternally lost. Well okay I grudgingly agree... but what other option was there?
as for CNN's pic.. typical. wonder if they'll fly there flags at half mast?
~lbcdawn Religion is about doing. Christianity is about done.
The photo I saw at CNN had the caption "Hussein hanged with 'fear in his face'" not "Witness: It's over, Hussein's dead." And I can't think of a better way to say it. Saddam should of fear on his face. He went to hell and he knew it. What a fearful thing to meet God face to face without the correct answer.
When I tuned in to CNN, Anderson Cooper and the woman in Baghdad seemed as if they were mourning a lost parent. I can't help but think how overjoyed they would be if something happened to someone in the administration here at home.
Did anyone notice how concerned CNN was about making absolutly sure any pictures or videos would be carefully deemed appropriate or unappropriate by the CNN staff. It was mentioned several times they would be very very carefull in deciding which photos that they would show their viewers.
If what you're saying is that his potential value as a political ally against Iran takes a backseat to his crimes against humanity, then true Americans won't be very sad about it. If at all.
You are not just wrong about who 'killed' Saddam Hussain (it was the Iraqis who hung him, tried him and will bury him) not America, but your other comment makes no sense whatsoever.
By your logic any old genocidal dictator is fine as long as they are ...
What the hell did you call him and say?
"We've killed a non religous anti-Iran dictator. Sad Sad Sad"
Geez.
You sure opened some kinda window into your soul there buddy. Maybe you are completely hopeless.
the contrast in coverage between CNN and FOX last night was unreal. CNN basically showing footage of Saddam kissing his children while Peter Arnett blabbers on ...and FOX showing footage of his atrocities (as they should have).

Celebrate that the thug they protected in the name of their precious "access" is dead, and that CNN is slowly slinking into irrelevance.
