Michael has confirmed to
me that he has left CNN, although he is not yet ready
to disclose discussions about plans for his return to
US television.
That said, he has other projects cooking as well. He
is currently working very hard on something that I am
confident everyone will agree will have been worth
the wait. (This is not the book; that is still
percolating. This is something new and very, very
exciting.)
So, while he is hard at work elsewhere, I just wanted
to take a moment to look back on the incredible work
he did for CNN. This is just a small sample of where
he has taken us while working for them, especially of
his most important legacy as a reporter -- his
astonishing coverage of the Iraq war. We were so
fortunate to have such an honest voice on the ground
to give us the truth behind the painful headlines.
His voice may no longer be coming into our living
rooms every day, but you can bet he won't stay silent
for long!
