War correspondent Michael Ware worked for CNN from 2006 until April of this year, during which time he became known for covering the hellscape of our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with brutal honesty and an keen analytical sense that often cut against the standard talking points. He's since been struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder and today the Brisbane Times is reporting on an event that might have contributed to that -- an alleged 2007 war crime that CNN refused to air.

Kate Dennehy, who reports that Ware is "set to reveal" the details, describes the incident:

Mr Ware tells of the alleged incident he says he witnessed and filmed in 2007 when working for US news giant CNN, but claims the network decided the footage was too graphic to go to air.

1. Michael Ware's reports were about the only reason to watch CNN.

When his appearances dropped off, then ended, we stopped tuning in.

3. CNN aspires to be the new Faux. No surprise that they don't

want to carry the story.
