Compromises
The dilapidation of journalistic integrity, of personal dignity, and basic respect for human life, CNN became an accomplice to Saddam's horrors, by keeping silent, just for a few reports.
Over the last dozen years I made 13 trips to Baghdad to lobby the government to keep CNN's Baghdad bureau open and to arrange interviews with Iraqi leaders. Each time I visited, I became more distressed by what I saw and heard — awful things that could not be reported because doing so would have jeopardized the lives of Iraqis, particularly those on our Baghdad staff.
