CNN's Amanpour Equates US with Khmer Rouge

CNN’s Christiane Amanpour does a story on the murder of more than two million Cambodians by Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge, and compares it to the United States using waterboarding on three top Al Qaeda terrorists to get information about imminent attacks.

Yes, really.

Two million Cambodians killed on one side, three terrorists in perfect health on the other side. Three terrorists who are now preparing to have their days in court, with high-powered legal teams fronted by the ACLU.

Christiane Amanpour sees no difference.

Oh my. I can't believe anyone would consider her objective (well except for liberals) after the religious hit piece she did.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I gave up on her and her network years ago. They keep going down this route and Glenn Beck will own it for less the 25K.

it's would be worth much more than that just to have the personal pleasure of firing them all . . . one by one . . . preferably in public . . . and then getting the added bonus of watching the gnashing of teeth and wringing of hands by the rest of the MSM . . . wait, I need to stop.  I am getting stirred up. :-)

Christiane Amanpour Personal Data:
Birth - January 12, 1958 in London

Education - From age 11, attended two Roman Catholic all-girls' schools in Great Britain. Graduated Summa Cum Laude from University of Rhode Island in 1983 with a BA in Journalism
Family - Married since 1998 to James (Jamie) Rubin, US State Department spokesman under President Clinton; one son, Darius, born in 2000.

Many find it unusual that Amanpour, raised in Islamic Iran, married a man of the Jewish faith tradition.

Growing Up Christiane Amanpour : Born to Iranian airline executive Mohammed Amanpour and his British wife, Patricia, her family moved to Tehran soon after her birth. Christiane led a privileged life in Iran, and then at British boarding schools. She studied journalism in London only because her sister backed out of attending and couldn't obtain a tuition refund. Her family fled Iran, and became refugees, in 1979 during the Islamic Revolution. Shortly thereafter, Amanpour moved to Rhode Island to attend college.

Interesting Personal Notes : While attending University of Rhode Island, she became friends and shared an off-campus house with Brown University student John F. Kennedy, Jr. They remained close friends until his 1999 death.

Christiane Amanpour is described as modest, private and quite magnetic. Her reporting is unfailingly hard-hitting, accurate and insightful. She's often pictured on-camera sans make-up and in an ever-present, unglamorous flak jacket. She was named 1997 Iranian Woman of the Year.
