CNN looks at Iraq combat hospital for Veteran's Day special

baghdadCNN will offer an insider's look at a combat hospital in Baghdad on Veterans' Day, November 11 at 8 pm and 11 pm with a special titled CNN Presents: Combat Hospital. The special, which will repeat on November 12 at 8 pm and 11 pm, will not use any narration or musical score, but will simply follow the doctors and nurses in a combat hospital located in a building once used by Saddam Hussein himself as they try to help anyone who arrives wounded, whether it be US soldiers, civilians, coalition forces or insurgents. While I find this topic very interesting, such things can often be ruined by poor or misguided coverage, but this special sounds like it was done in a tasteful manner. I certainly like the idea of not using narration or trying to emphasize the drama with a musical score. It seems enough to just have the cameras there to record the chaos.
