How long has the Complicity News Network been including this snotty disclaimer on this pieces?

Don't know, but they never included a disclaimer like this when reporting out of Iraq under the influence of minders.

They've had a disclaimer from the beginning, but it's grown since then (kinda Pinnochio-like)

Did CNN put that disclaimer in all of their Iraq propaganda pieces. Here would have been a good one.

Editor's Note: Saddam Hussein's regime is brutal and violent. We fear for our personal safety and for the loved ones of our Iraqi personnel. When reading our reports, please bear those facts in mind.

Maybe they only do this when reporting on the 'propaganda' coming from US sources. They didn't feel the need to do this when reporting from Sadaam's Iraq.

Prior notice was understood and read as follows:


EDITOR'S NOTE: This report was written in accordance with SADAM approved ground rules allowing CNN embedded reporting, in which CNN Agree not to disclose any pertinant information reflecting unfavorably on the Evil Sadam or his worthless sons.
