"What Mrs. Cheney and before her Chairman Hunter focused on is the outrageous decision by an American network to show a film provided to it by the enemy with the hope on the enemy's part that it would be shown on American television and around the globe.

If Nazis had provided CBS film of SS killing Americans, would CBS have shown that during WW 2?

Would ABC have run agitprop provided by North Korea during the Korean War?

Would NBC have aired Viet Cong movies made during the Tet offensive of American GIs and Marines being gunned down? [ Ah, yes. There's where the cart went off the road didn't it? The NVA lost approximately 45,000 of 90,000 men committed and yet the Tet "victory" is a liberal shibboleth to this day, no? -ed. ]

Wolf Blitzer asserts that "of course, is we want the United States to win."

Mrs. Cheney replies "[t]hen why are you running terrorist propaganda?" [ Crickets chirping... -ed. ]

There is no answer to this question, and Blitzer does not attempt one, but disputes the premise, although moments later he concedes that the film was in fact "propaganda."

And here we arrive at the central issue: You cannot want the United States to win the war and yet take actions that help the enemy. Doing what the enemy asks --in this case airing the enemy's propaganda-- helps the enemy."
