Who's CNN's new Aussie correspondent in Iraq?

He strikes me as being too...I don't know...Geraldo-ish? Is that a word?

1. Is is John Vause?

There are at least 3 Aussies working for CNN as far as I know... Stan Grant, Rosemary Church and John Vause. The first 2 are usually newsreaders, so I assume it's Vause. He's nowhere near as bad as Geraldo, but I think he came from a network station in Australia (channel 9), which usually makes him a reasonable reporter but not great...

2. He's got a beard and had on this bushjacket-looking shirt.

And he emotes a whole lot more than I'm comfortable with in a newsguy.
I guess that's where that FauxNews feel comes in.

3. Hmmm...Vause doesn't usually have a beard...

if you can give me a link to a CNN site or somewhere with his pic I might be able to fill you in...

4. Okay...they got the first transcript up.

My bad...he's not with CNN. He's Michael Ware, the Baghdad bureau chief of "TIME" magazine. I'd seen him a couple of times over the past couple of days on CNN and just assumed he was theirs. :dunce:
