Indeed, two congressional reports specifically identified numerous failures by Chertoff and DHS in overseeing the government's response. <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200708280002 Mon, 27 Aug 2007 20:50:43 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200701190016 http://mediamatters.org/items/200701190016 Fri, 19 Jan 2007 18:19:50 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200610070001 In several reports on the dispute between the FBI and Citizens for Ethics and Responsibility in Washington over the agency's handling of the emails that led to the Foley scandal, CNN has failed to explore inconsistencies in the FBI's claims about its investigation of the emails or lack thereof. http://mediamatters.org/items/200610070001 Fri, 6 Oct 2006 20:00:48 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200609220021 CNN's Kelly Arena uncritically reported U.S. government officials' claim that the interrogation of Al Qaeda operative Abu Zubaydah and terrorism suspect Ramzi bin al-Shibh led to the capture of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. But Arena failed to note evidence indicating that the interrogation of Zubaydah and bin al-Shibh had little to no impact on Mohammed's capture. http://mediamatters.org/items/200609220021 Fri, 22 Sep 2006 19:22:33 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200608180011 CNN's Wolf Blitzer, Lou Dobbs, and Kelli Arena characterized a judge's ruling that the Bush administration's warrantless domestic spying program is unconstitutional as a serious blow to the administration's efforts to combat terrorists. But it's not at all clear that the administration must violate the law to protect the country or that warrantless domestic wiretapping has been effective in combating terrorists. http://mediamatters.org/items/200608180011 Fri, 18 Aug 2006 19:20:44 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200608180009 Despite several reports that the recently foiled London terrorist plot had no connections to the United States, <em>The New York Times</em>, CNN, and Fox News uncritically repeated Republican assertions that the Bush administration's warrantless domestic wiretapping program played a role in the plot's breakup. http://mediamatters.org/items/200608180009 Fri, 18 Aug 2006 17:43:12 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200602030009 During an interview with Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, CNN Justice Department correspondent Kelli Arena failed to question Gonzales about his 2005 confirmation hearing, in which he responded to a question from Sen. Russ Feingold about whether the president could authorize warrantless domestic wiretaps. At the hearing, Gonzales suggested that Feingold had described a "hypothetical situation," despite the fact that the warrantless surveillance program had been in place since 2001 and that President Bush had reauthorized it numerous times. http://mediamatters.org/items/200602030009 Fri, 3 Feb 2006 15:10:09 EST
