Damage control!
Look for another shoe to drop. Just my guess.
???? But this article is where he admitted knowledge...damage control would be what's going on now (the feel sorry for CNN because, ALLEGEDLY, two of their guys ALMOST got killed today......something I disbelieve.)
CNN-in Iraq, and now we learn the same thing taking place in Cuba (Per MRC) and Pakistan (per C. Krauthammer on FOX)-where else, and how much Blood money is CNN paying these regimes to spread their filthy lies?
Same here, while I've been at home, anyway. My mother is recuperating in a hospital after knee-replacement surgery, and the hospital only gets CNN for its news channel (which is adding to her misery!). I've seen an hour here and there of CNN's coverage over the past week or so... it seems that no matter what time I visit, Wolf Blitzer is always on, and the reporting is full of long faces and gloom and doom... a sharp contrast to Fox News.
MSNBC isn't too bad lately, especially with the addition of Joe Scarborough, Mike Savage and their "tribute wall" to the troops. The anchor who used to be with ESPN (can't think of his name) isn't too bad either, from what I've seen.
Somehow, some way, we've GOT to get CNN out of those airports and hospitals!
Because all sorts of stuff like this will be coming out in the near future, and CNN wanted to put their spin on it first, and look like they're coming clean., imho.
Better to confess your sins, than be charged with a cover-up.

I don't know what their rules are, but surely, CNN must have broken some. Perhaps a letter writing campaign just must help them become "more interested," however.
Unless there is evidence of even more complicity between CNN and the Saddam regime.
The Clinton administration were experts at bringing out bad news in such a fashion that it could control the debate. I am just suspicious that this is the same type of thing. I can think of no other reason for CNN to admit to this at this time and in this fashion.
