CNN Editor Fired for Saying She Has "Respect" for Hezbollah Cleric | The Weekly Standard

CNN Editor Fired for Saying She Has "Respect" for Hezbollah Cleric The Weekly Standard: "In a followup blog post last night, Nasr wrote that it 'was an error of judgment for me to write such a simplistic comment and I'm sorry because it conveyed that I supported Fadlallah's life's work. That's not the case at all.'
She explained that she knew about all the wicked aspects of Fadlallah's life--saying she even 'lost family members' in the barracks bombing--and was simply referring to the fact that she respected Fadlallah for his opposition to 'honor' killings and beating women. But saying you respect Fadlallah for opposing murdering and beating (Muslim) women is almost like saying you respect Osama bin Laden for building day care centers.
CNN doesn't think Nasr's apology makes"
