Here’s my conversation with CNN’s Anderson Cooper about what went wrong in covering the West Virginia mine explosion and its aftermath last week, and who is to blame for the incorrect information getting out on his broadcast. We also got into a lengthy discussion of his trip back to Baghdad last month, including how he answers the critics who say Americans aren’t getting a real picture of what’s happening there, how he stayed safe in a nation where yet another journalist has just been kidnapped, and whether the Iraqi police and army are anywhere close to taking responsibility for the security of their own country.
