Key player in Iraq war turns critic
“I've come to a conclusion: the justification for the intervention was wrong,” Former British Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott said of the Iraq War in an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, which aired Tuesday.
“[We] may have got rid of Saddam, but it certainly never brought peace,” Prescott added.
Looking back, on the ten-year anniversary of the war, Prescott said everyone should ask themselves whether the war was justified, and whether the true objective was in fact regime change, not weapons of mass destruction.
Prescott said that former Prime Minister Tony Blair “certainly believed” it was because of the alleged weapons of mass destruction. FULL POST
Springtime for Hillary?
When Hillary Clinton stepped down as U.S. Secretary of State secretary of state last month, she had logged nearly one million miles on trips around the world.
Yet Clinton's policy legacy is less quantifiable; and her political future is up in the air.
Foreign correspondent Kim Ghattas accompanied Clinton on hundreds of thousands of those miles, as a member of the traveling press corp.
Ghattas’ new book, "The Secretary: A journey with Hillary Clinton from Beirut to the heart of American power" is an insider's account of Clinton's diplomatic whirlwind.
In the video above CNN’s Hala Gorani asks Ghattas what she sees in Clinton’s political future.
Iraq: Where were the journalists?
How could so many incorrect assertions in the lead up to the Iraq war have been taken as fact?
After the war, some of the United States’ leading newspapers were forced to apologize for getting it so wrong.
But two reporters consistently got it right: Jonathan Landay and Warren Strobel, former Knight Ridder reporters for the McClatchy newspapers.
In an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour marking the tenth anniversary of the Iraq War, they cited reporters’ access to top officials in Washington as one of the top problems. The top-level bureaucrats, they said, had more of a propensity to spin toward the line that the Bush Administration was pushing.
“Most of our reporting was with intelligence, military and diplomatic midlevel and lower level – the types that journalists don't really talk to or go after,” Warren Strobel told Amanpour.
In the video above you can watch the complete interview, reflecting on journalism in the lead up to the Iraq war. The journalists also explain why some of their own newspapers wouldn’t even print their stories.

Is the new pope powerful enough to change the Church?
By Samuel Burke, CNN
Many Jesuits are stunned that a Jesuit is now Pope.
"Saint Ignatius never intended for Jesuits to have positions of power, authority or influence in the Church,” Father Joseph McShane told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour. “So we were always told from the day we entered there would never be a Jesuit Pope and now we have one. We are all stunned."
McShane is President of Fordham University in New York and even though he didn’t expect the selection of then-Cardinal Bergoglio, he believes Pope Francis has the background to reform.
The new pope must confront a crises and crimes that have rocked the Church over the last decade.
To tackle the sex abuse catastrophe McShane said the new Pope would be “wise to listen to the American bishops” who are advocating for a policy of zero tolerance throughout the Church.
“More importantly, he has to say that whenever such an act, such a sin, such a crime is reported, the first concern is for the victim and the victim's family,” McShane said.
But is Pope Francis powerful enough to make sure the curia and the Catholic hierarchy abide by that?
“I don't know if it's a question of ‘is he powerful enough?’ I think it's a question of ‘is he brave enough to call it out,’” McShane said.
He believes Pope Francis is.
“If you look at what he has done in Buenos Aires with his own priests, it is clear,” McShane told Amanpour. “I'm sure you've read the stories about him excoriating priests who refused to baptize children who were born out of wedlock – calling them the new Pharisees, a new class of hypocrites, who forgot that the Lord ate with prostitutes and sought out sinners. So I think he's brave enough and direct enough to do this.”
