Holy Moly! He's very talented, and had some great reports.

It's too sad his career went in this direction.

The allegations against him are bad enough...but here's the stuff that's potentially explosive:

Especially the Nigerian Report was then also a point of our discussion now in London when he gave me some inside information how he had arranged the encounter with these MEND people (" of course I had to pay certain people to get the story - but everything was done in agreement with CNN and in accordance with their usual standards - but you do not get such a story without bribing - you know how the world and especially in Nigeria functions - you have to have financial resources - but at the end it was worth it - CNN has its story and I have my 'fame' ......)

Journalism be damned.

In the business today, it's "attack first, then walk away".

No, Matt, not forgetting. That's why I used the word "potentially."
