But for the reporters to do nothing is to allow the attrocities to continue...
If I was in the CNN reporter's shoes, I don't know what I would have done for certain...
Note that the weapons inspectors had to deal with this same issue...If they saw something Sadam didn't want them to see, then Sadam threatened and often did kill the scientists, or their families: Yet the inspection process supposedly pushed forward...if they found WMD should the inspectors have looked the other way becuase Sadam might use their find as a pretext to kill a scientist and/or his family?
Are the UN weapons inspectors more tenatious about doing their job than the Reporters at CNN are about doing theirs?
Or maybe both were just going through the motions...One pretending to be inspectors the other pretending to be reporters.
