I spent eight years working at CNN during the first decade of this century and covered a range of truly dramatic and historic stories. Most significantly, I had the privilege of a front row seat on George Bush’s ‘War on Terror’ as it was rolled out from Afghanistan, and across the Middle East. This collection of news packages and features showcases some of the stories we covered and a whole lot more besides.
