1. She is one of the best reporters in the business
Never thought I would see her reporting on a major crisis here at home.

5. Yeah, I was so surprised to Jeff Koinange

He's usually in some third world country dodging bullets on a hot tin roof. He said the suffering he saw in NO was just like being in those countries-- the look, the smell, the desperation of the people. It's amazing to see this happening in our country.

14. CNN has been keeping her out of the limelight here at home,
although she is prominent on CNN International. I guess Rove doesn't like the truth she speaks.

7. "Third World America"
A headline in an overseas newspaper.


I have huge respect for Christiane Amanpour. She's letting the American people know how people from around the world care and are outraged at the response.

8. Shows foreign paper headline:" Third World America" - the
world wants to know how come within hours of a disaster around the world we have troops food water there - and where there are poor black people at home... nothing...

Bush has been caught with his pants down and the world can see what he is.

He stil hasn't accepted any offer of help from all the other nations.

15. Unbelievable
I'm glad CNN is not reverting back to their * boot-licking, at least for now. I expect it to start soon, though.

25. When I see Amanpour, I think of Sarajevo and Baghdad.
