Throughout the lead-up to the war, CNN worked hard to air all sides of the story. We had a regular segment called Voices of Dissent in which we spent time covering antiwar protests and interviewing those who were opposed to the war with Iraq.

We exercise great caution in airing an audio- or videotape released by a terrorist organization holding a hostage. These are decisions made by CNN's editorial staff and not by any third party.

At CNN, our view is that good journalism equals good business.

CNN was one of the first news organizations in the world to train and equip its journalists before deploying them to dangerous areas.

Since I arrived at CNN, it has grown into one of the largest and most trusted news organizations in the world.

I believe our editorial decisions reflected our constant desire to make sure that we fully cover and analyze any issue and give our viewers all the information they need.
