Score one for the Fifth Estate and freedom of information.
As much as I usually have nothing but contempt for CNN, their actions during the aftermath of Katrina, from Anderson Cooper to filing the lawsuit, has been pretty damn good. They tried to slip into Corporate Speak last Monday, but the reporters on the ground - Anderson, Soledad, etc. wouldn't let them. Good on them for finally waking up to the horrors the Bush Admin has wrought on America.
... and score one for freedom of information & being unable to spin the death and destruction toll... and hopefully this means Blackwater et al won't be able to operate under the cover of secrecy...
They can always slip back though, so it's up to us to keep the pressure on & let them know when they done good for democracy.
