CNN founder Ted Turner was perplexed when Wolf Blitzer informed him on the September 19, 2005 edition of The Situation Room that North Korea was "one of the most despotic regimes, and Kim Jong-Il is one of the worst men on Earth."

Turner seemed puzzled: "I didn't get to meet him, but in the pictures I've seen of him on CNN he didn't look too much different than most other people....I didn't see any brutality."
