20 reporters enter Taliban-controlled Afghanistan TOWR KHAM,
Oct. 14 Kyodo - Some 20 foreign journalists, including one from Kyodo News, on Saturday entered the Afghan side of Towr Kham, a town on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan, for the first time since the U.S.-led air strikes started last Sunday.
After Afghanistan's ruling Taliban issued visas to the group, which includes CNN staff, the reporters entered the Afghan side of the town through Peshawar, Pakistan, at night, when a bus they and two Taliban officials were riding in crossed the border. The Taliban, which have imposed strict restrictions on foreign media coverage in the country and have deported foreign residents, have apparently eased their stance. .....

and lastly,I just saw the future....anyone watching pMSNBC right now ? A Hollywood version of John McCain splitting black and white with color film in a pit of the war and Nixon vs McCain's plight as a POW. And how brave he was bla bla bla. There is the ANTIBUSH as Presidental Canidate 2004 with the either the democrat or independent flag....how bad do NBC and McCain want it....imagine Hillary as the Vice....that bad. Why ? Look at CNN ,building the world against BUSH. All the while using Hillary's blurted comments as fuel,A president should be elected if he wins a total popular vote. This is a coup'de la to grab the world NOW by all things heathen.....

Has anyone considered that by the very fact that CNN has appointed itself as the official "casualty list" tallyman, that such reporting could inflame muslim hatred worldwide for further retaliation?
So, in my mind, truly, CNN's reporting might not just put our troops in danger when they report on our immediate military objectives, but also, to our civilian population by fanning the flames of a "holy war".
I wonder if there is a legal way to hold them accountable for treason? Personally, I'd envy the genius that could pull that off.

...another thought on this subject. Hopefully we'll "miss" with one of our GPS guided bombs again and blow up a 4 o'clock Taliban tea and cookie party with CNN in attendence.

Human shields pure and simple, But it just is not gonna work! Not this time!
The reporters have made their choice. If they are in the way BOMB em.

Now we know where everyone is hiding. Obviously Osama and his boys will be in the same building that all these duped journalist will be staying in. I doubt if any of these news people will know who he is.
I say we bomb them just to be sure.

Since we missed our target the other day, the answer to our "embarrassment" is simple: Make another pass and bomb again. (Hey, nobody's perfect!) Look, world, we got it right this time!
To: Frankiedi
The Taliban would not have allowed CNN to enter Afghanistan unless they felt they could be used as a pawn for pro-Taliban propaganda. My guess is CNN has agreed to do just that!

CNN -The Network Terrorists Trust!They're not reporters. They're network execs. There's alot of vacant office space right now - and it's pretty reasonable - so they're thinking about moving the office. That's what I heard.

CNN says: The Taliban says
W should say: "No more Taliban quotes or you are off the air for the duration of the war."

Well I guess we now know who's side CNN is on and why they would not wear the USA flag on their lapel.....no surprise but it's nice to have verification.
