What would Geraldo have done?

A top CNN executive kept quiet about some atrocities in Iraq not because the network wanted to protect access but because it worried about putting lives in danger, CNN said Monday.

Eason Jordan, CNN's chief news executive, revealed the incidents in an op-ed piece in The New York Times Friday headlined "The News We Kept to Ourselves."

He said that in the mid-1990s, an Iraqi cameraman working for CNN was tortured because the government believed Jordan worked for the CIA. Reporting the story "would almost certainly have gotten him killed and put his family and co-workers at grave risk," Jordan wrote.

Geraldo should have been well equipped and sent in to demolish the Iraqi regime single handly. But a weak willed Clinton wouldn't let him.

Bush asked him to do it, but he turned them down.

We should have let Geraldo go into Iraq as a spy. He was so good at giving away US troop movements I'm sure that he would have been able to scribble directions in the sand to let us know where Saddam was.

Thing is, I didn't need the CNN story to show that they had no ethics. They've proven that time and time again. I just hope this makes people pay attention to what ALL media outlets say and how they say it. All of these journalists that pretend that they are somehow "super-human" and above the rest of us is just a crock. They act like they're aliens from outer space that are just here to observe us lower life-forms.
