I heard this on my way home from work on Michael Savage’s talk radio show, the Savage Nation. I couldn’t believe what I heard! Michael Ware, a British reporter for CNN, was reporting on an insurgent sniper team as they stalked and killed an American Marine soldier. [See Video]–>

Here is CNN’s response on why they aired this video.

Quoted from the official CNN blog linked above:

“Of course, we also understood that some might conclude there is a public relations benefit for the insurgents if we aired the material, especially on CNN International. We also understood that this kind of footage is upsetting and disturbing for many viewers. But after getting beyond the emotional debate, we concluded the tape meets our criteria for newsworthiness.”

Wikipedia offers this definition of TREASON: “In law, treason is the crime of disloyalty to one’s nation or state. A person who betrays the nation of their citizenship and/or reneges on an oath of loyalty and in some way willfully cooperates with an enemy, is considered to be a traitor.”

The Eleventh Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, Section 3 states: “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

I call upon Congress to use the power vested in them by the U.S. Constitution to arrest the people in CNN who are suspected to be responsible for airing this enemy video “story” and to try them for the crime of treason. They have clearly given “Aid and Comfort” to the enemy, and revealed an outrageous bias and adherence to our enemies.

What if I was a parent who had lost my son to a sniper in Iraq?… like the Indiana father who called in this morning to John & Cisco on WIND 560. My heart went out to him and his family as he slowly, painfully shared how this “story” had affected him. The unbelievable pain that CNN inflicted on American citizens like this father is unforgivable, and then to have the audacity to say, “after getting beyond the emotional debate, we concluded the tape meets our criteria for newsworthiness.”

Over the “EMOTION?” I am grateful that somebody is EMOTIONAL over this kind of EVIL! What a bunch of absolute depravity – CNN!

This decision and action by Criminal News Network is an ABOMINATION!

I am so angry and outraged, I can’t write what I really feel.
