No worry for CNN - the 7th Armored Cavalry is delivering a CNN correspondent to Bagdhad and I think he'll be there within a few days.

Since there aren't piles of dead Iraqi civilians to gin up the propaganda machine, there's no need for CNN.

Guess some French station has negotiated exclusive Iraqi propaganda rights.

Understand the reasoning for this.
Q: Why wouldn't he want the media around?
A: Because he's about to commit mass atrocities on his own people to blame on the good-ole US coalition. Because he's about to bring out the dead bodies he's got on-ice (that I believe he has) and throw them around to blame on the good-ole US coalition.
That's the only logical reason I can think of.
To: the_Watchman
ROTFLMHO! That's funny!
FOX will be there soon, courtesy of the 3rd ID (ROCK OF THE MARNE)

They don't want to take the chance of CNN accidentally reporting the truth.
To: aristeides
