Disgraced CNN Journalist Who Accused U.S. Troops of Atrocities to Produce GOP Debate

The reality is that at least 10 journalists have been killed by the US military, and according to reports I believe to be true journalists have been arrested and tortured by U.S. forces." These egregious comments resulted in him resigning in February of '05.
