While Kiley's report might give fodder to those who want to go to war with Iraq, Hedges said on FreshAir and on Charlie Rose last night that his sources are urging caution. And there is this exchange in the interview with Kiley:

Q: When you go into a situation like Iraq are you thinking about the consequences of your reporting? This is a time when the United States and the United Nations are debating war and peace. You've brought us back a very provocative story with some new horrors, public beheadings...

Kiley: I have very strong reservations about the whole American foreign policy in the Middle East. You know, I'm not interested in feeding a war machine. But one can't pull one's punches just because you think that wrong-headed people are going to use your information. I have mixed views about whether or not it's a good idea [to invade Iraq]. Yes, it would be great for the people of Iraq to get rid of Saddam. It'd also be nice to have democracy in Saudi Arabia...But in a sense that¹s not my problem. My problem is to try and do justice to the story.

In the interview, he praises John Burns of the New York Times for including in every piece that he is always accompanied by an Iraqi minder. Burns was interviewed on Fresh Air Wednesday.
