During a live press conference in Baghdad, Senators McCain and Graham
were heckled by CNN reporter Michael Ware. An official at the press
conference called Ware’s conduct “outrageous,” saying, “here you have
two United States Senators in Bagdad giving first-hand reports while
Ware is laughing and mocking their comments. I’ve never witnessed such
disrespect. This guy is an activist not a reporter.”
Senators McCain and Graham flew into Iraq and drove into Baghdad,
making stops at an open market and a joint Iraq/American military
security outpost before appearing at the press conference.
This is not the first time Michael Ware has taken issue with Senator
McCain’s comments about early progress in Iraq. Last week, after
Senator McCain told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that he needed to catch up on
the news coming out of Iraq, Michael Ware responded, saying:
“I don't know what part of Neverland Senator McCain is talking about when he says we can go strolling in Baghdad.”
Michael Ware has also publicly expressed his views on the war
last year in an interview with Bill Maher, saying, “I've been given a
front-row ticket to watch this slow-motion train wreck … I try to stay
as drunk for as long as possible while I'm here … In fact, I'm drinking
now.”
Ware was also involved in the CNN sniper video.
On October 18, 2006, CNN aired a small portion of a videotape sent to Michael Ware which showed insurgent snipers hunting American troops This caused an uproar among some internet pundits and conservative talk radio hosts who believed that Ware was embedded with the insurgents filming the video and watched complacently as American soldiers were killed. In fact, the video was a propaganda tape sent to CNN to which Ware added narration for the edited broadcast segment.
