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.. 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.
