CNN Senior Editor, Octavia Nasr, tweets admiration for Hezbollah terrorist!

Octavia Nasr is CNN's Senior Editor of Mideast Affairs. This supposedly "unbiased" correspodent tweeted her admiration for a Hezbollah terrorist following his death on the 4th of July (of all days):

 Sad to hear of the passing of Sayyed Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah.. One of Hezbollah's giants I respect a lot.. #Lebanon 3:24 AM Jul 4thvia Twitter for BlackBerry®

Nasr explained on CNN's blog, moments ago, her tweet for the designated terrorist was an "error in judgement." 

And, why are CNN rating's so poor?

Update 7/8/10:  The New York Times reports Nasr, a 20 year veteran at CNN,  was canned today.  She'll probably show up on Al Jazeera soon.

Also the British Ambassador to Lebonon praised his passing, too.
