I think we should write CNN to thank them for a job well done on their show last night. We should write just as often to thank them as we do to complain (it may embolden them to do more pieces like it)

4. Overall it was OK
BUT>>>>>> it still continues to blame Tenent for everything - it never once mentioned the DSM and how intelligence was "fixed"

when oh when will they say it like it is? and how long will the stooge Tenent continue to take it up the butt? Oh, I forgot, he got a medal of freedom for his reward.

And again they covered for old Colin - he KNEW it was bullshit and he said it anyway - he did not believe it.

Come clean CNN and tell the truth for once!

7. It did mention DSM
and showed Bush's comments about it during a press conference with him and Blair, actually. The way it was edited, IMO, it seemed to reinforce the "mixed messages" promoted by Bush etal...You know, those "forget the facts, read my lips instead" statements.

5. I wonder how many arms David Ensor had to twist to get it on the air....
For a CNN documentary it was pretty damning of BushCo. Maybe we'll start to see some other MSM outlets actually dane to point out the truth of pre-911 Iraq war planning and intelligence "fixed around the policy". Ensor could have even been more aggressive, but his measured approach no doubt got the program on the air.

11. I guess they were waiting
For bush's poll numbers to drop enough before they would be able to release this.

I don't think they are as interested in getting down to the truth as much as this show getting good ratings and making them some money.

12. At this critical point that the public needs FACT AWARENESS...
I'll take whatever motivated them. I emailed them an encouraging email and one of thanks for their report last night. If they get the ratings increase for this, they WILL DO MORE.

14. Are you kidding?
Its like giving an award to someone who warned theatre-goers of a fire.......TWO YEARS after the building burned down and all in it were lost.

:crazy:
