Deference to these brave moderate rebels who have sacrificed so much for US empire.
No shit, the moderate rebels might actually behead her otherwise
Its cool man were not gonna rape and murder our women anymore you can totally trust me and ignore my history of raping and murdering
So I think by reading the comments I understand the context here.
A CNN reporter, Amanpour, was going to interview the Iranian President. The president demanded the female wear a head scarf. The CNN reporter declined because she is a strong independent woman or something, so the Iranian president didn’t show up. This same reporter then interviewed a former member of ISIS/Al Qaeda, and now suddenly she is wearing a headscarf. However for some reason interviewing this Al Qaeda member while wearing a headscarf is more important then whatever principles she supposedly has?
The implication is that she had no intention of conducting a good faith interview of the Iranian President at all. Is this correct?
That’s the gist of it, although it’s a different CNN report in the second interview I think. Clearly, CNN can find reporters who will wear a head scarf if they actually want to.
Yea lack of glasses probably a different reporter. But the fact that it is a different reporter shows that CNN could have accommodated the Iranian Presidents demands if they wanted to, then the fact that they accommodated the al qaeda guy shows it was never about the head scarf or Islam or anything like that.
What is the gap in time between these?
