What's with the "Superpass" jive to access the video? CNN isn't making good with me for that take-back.

CNN has been systematically comment spamming top echelon blogs the last week. Is it you, or the guy in the next cubicle who's responsible for this?

The media is hopping made at Bush administration. They can't get Rummie fired, they think troops target journalists and now this. What good is the good of released of classified intel? This material is a plant or the result of espionage (stolen & sold) . All in one day from a NEWBIE?
