...vaunted French view on the world different? "It's a little less binary, a little less Manichean, more panoramic," says G?rard Saint-Paul, a former Washington television correspondent and the new station's managing director for news. Saint-Paul says he's proud that the station treated Saddam Hussein's hanging "with sobriety, and the jubulation afterwards with moderation; after all, we don't put an end to barbarity by showing more barbarity." But the station still seems to define itself more by what it is not than by what it is. "I think CNN has sent a pro-Bush...
...This dark page has been turned over,” Iraq’s national security adviser, Mowaffak al-Rubaie, told Iraqi television immediately after the execution of Saddam Hussein. “Saddam is gone.

Muttlag says the entire U.S.-backed political structure in Iraq, parliament included, should be torn down and rebuilt. "Reconciliation will never happen under the Maliki government or a similar government," says Muttlag. "We're now looking...
...only place where patience for Maliki is wearing thin. While in public President Bush has always expressed support for him, the White House has begun to signal its unease. Even Bush joined the chorus of voices condemning the way Maliki's government handled the execution of Saddam Hussein. And disagreements over strategy are becoming more apparent. For example, Maliki had pressed Bush to move U.S. troops from central Baghdad to the edge of the city, leaving the volatile downtown area in the hands of Iraq security forces. Instead, the White House's emerging strategy has most of a U.S. troops...
