ATLANTA, GA - Viewers of Piers Morgan Tonight were shocked at Ted Turner's controversial comments last night concerning suicide among US service members, but an anonymous CNN producer has informed Duffel Blog that many missed the full context.

On the program, Turner stated that it was good that troops were committing suicide because it showed an aversion to war. Producers, realizing the stupidity of his comments, quickly moved to commercial but cameras still rolled as he stated, "I think it'd be great if they'd all commit suicide. Hell, if they all just shot themselves we wouldn't have to worry about any more wars because nobody'd be left to fight!"

Turner then turned his criticism inward, according to the anonymous CNN staffer.
