Remember back in October when CNN received a video from some terrorists in Iraq, showing a sniper killing brave U.S. military personnel? Remember how they were more than willing to help those terrorists get their murderous propaganda on the air?

Then when Lynn Cheney confronted Wolf Blitzer about CNN’s promoting the terrorist propaganda, his response was:

CHENEY: Then why are you running terrorist propaganda?

WOLF: Well all do respect, this is not terrorist propaganda.

CHENEY: Oh, wolf.

WOLF: This is reporting the news. Which is what we do, we are not partisan.

CHENEY: Where did you get the film?

WOLF: We got the film, look, this is an issue that has been widely discussed. This is an issue we reported on extensively. We make no apologies for showing that. That was a very carefully-considered decision why we did that. And I think, I think —

CHENEY: Well I think it’s shocking.

WOLF: If you are a serious journalist, you want to report the news. Sometimes the news is good, sometimes the news isn’t so good.

Well, the sniper has been captured (via KUNA: Kuwait News Agency) (hat tip: Reader Andy S.).

On other developments, the Iraqi interior Ministry stated that the “Baghdad’s Sniper” who wreaked havoc in the Iraqi capital, was arrested today East of the city.

Ali Nezar Al-Jaboori, identified as the sniper was arrested with two of his assistants in Al-Nile area east of Baghdad.

So, Wolf, where are the “serious journalists” now? If this terrorist’s killing of brave American soldiers (and videotaping thereof) was so newsworthy… why isn’t his capture?

Given Blitzer’s defense above, either he and his comrades at CNN really aren’t interested in showing the good news… or they’re not really serious journalists.

His words, not mine.
