Many of us here have missed you greatly! Thankfully, we are now delighted to find you back on Wide Angle and to hear you on the radio just prior to our fantastic '08 election. Will you be doing anything on tv or radio about the '09 inauguration and the aftermath? - that would be SO wonderful! Thank you for your unique blend of professionalism and caring that comes through in all of your work, and thank you for treating us, the viewing/listening public,as intelligent, thinking individuals! Your style is rare these days, with all that other "stuff" that is out there now, and somehow passing for broadcast news. We hope to hear a great deal more from you in the future. sincerely, j. turner Seattle, WA Dear Aaron,

I've been wanting to know what you've been doing in the intervening years (perhaps preparing the Wide Angle series?). I always appreciated - and undoubtedly will continue to appreciate - your warm and sensitive communication, and the measured and eloquent manner in which you use words. You are a poet at heart.

I had the feeling that this time around, you were looking for the the perfect venue that would allow you to "be yourself" without any hassle or pressure. If it took several years to find this position, then so be it! Hope you stay on the air for a long time to come...CNN is not really the same without your presence. And I hope this works out for you. Best wishes, Georgia San Ramon, CA PS Just wanted to know if you may have a feature on the flood victims of the 2008 Midwest Floods if it suits your show. There's so many human interest stories that the current media isn't covering as they did Hurricane Katrina. So many people have been displaced and upset by these floods but have helped each other--truly it is wonderful to see. Looking forward to seeing you on the air again!

It will be good to have you back. I'm not sure that this is a question you are comfortable addressing, but why do U.S. cable news stations assume that the viewers are more interested in Britney Spears than in Zimbabwe. In a larger context, does cable news contribute to the ignorance of the American public, or is it simply responding to it? Best wishes, and we will be sure to tune in.
