at did CNN know and when did they know it?

They knew everything, since 1991. And they should be called the Iraqi Ministry of Propaganda.

Someone in another thread mentioned, what if these "other" types of "looters" are actually Saddam's feddayins, trying to sabotage things

In every country, there's a criminal element that will take opportunity of this type of chaos. But I think the Fedayeen are indeed conducting sabotage, along with Republican Guards in civilian guise. Now that they've lost the war, they're looking for ways to destabilize the peace and continue to cause trouble.

Even the "hospitals" were in large part Saadumb-operated institutions for the control of the population. There were large parts of them which were not at all related to the practice of medicine. The locals know this, and consider them just as odious as the other governmental trappings, and this is the reason they have been included in the very understandable "looting".
