Someone mentioned not too long ago,and I don't remember who it was but they stated that if the government wants to get a story out,they don't use FNC,msnbc or any local affiliates.If they want something known to the world to digest they use CNN.Nomatter how much we abhore CNN for their onesided reporting,the rest of the world hinges on their reports.If this story had come out on FNC,about the only ones to read and hear it would have been mostly conservatives,but letting CNN have a go at it,all the world gets to hear about it.Some of you ask,why now? Well,you don't play your high cards till you know your oponent has put everything he has into the pot.Just my opinion.

A well taken post. I agree. But I do know that CNN worldwide is a bit different than what we see here in the states because I lived in GE for seven years-89 to 96 and lived and breathed by CNN, with the Stars and Stripes newspaper to help counter the lies CNN so willingly spews, at times.
