reporter Matt McAllester on his show. Most of America was riveted to TV on just about all of the cable channels to hear updates on the rescue of 19-year-old Army private Jessica Lynch and the release of McAllester and three other journalists from a Baghdad prison. /p>One of the released journalists, a Danish photographer, had detailed his own poor treatment -- not enough blankets or sleep -- but said it was better than anyone else's in the prison. He said he heard and saw Iraqi prisoners being severely beaten and tortured. Prisoners with their eyes gouged out and other horrifying human rights violations.
Unfortunately, viewers of the Larry King show didn't hear any of what went on in the prison because King declined to ask McAllester about it.
p>"We wanted him to ask about the brutality inside the prison, to get McAllester talking about the human rights violations," says a CNN producer. "But King didn't want to do it. I guess he didn't think it was that important." br> /p>
