I think you're thinking about "TailHOOK". "TailWIND" was the (thoroughly debunked) accusation that the US used sarin gas on Laotian (or Cambodian?) villages that sheltered American deserters during the Vietnam war. CNN had to retract the whole report & a couple of people got fired.

Another reason I'm glad I switched from CNN to FOX News Channel 3 years ago. Thanks !

You know, something occurs to me. Rush wondered if Rick Kaplan knew this, and if Kaplan told Clinton. (Which would mean Clinton knew all this and didn't act on it.)
But another question is, if Clinton and our government knew that CNN was in Iraq and complicit in covering this up, was there nothing our government could say or do, or is "Freedom of the Press" sacred? Could/should someone in the U.S. government have gone public and said what was happening in Iraq (surely we also had an idea from our intelligence sources) and that CNN was covering this up? Maybe I'm a little over the top here but it's an interesting thought. It seems to me that CNN and the Clinton Administration walked hand in hand through the '90s on this. It only came to an end due to George W. Bush.
So much for Clinton "feeling people's pain."

CNN is definitely not the only guilty party.
The minute I heard Rush read this NYT report this morning, I remembered seeing Jim Avila on NBC reporting from Havana in 2000. He was standing on the same street corner I'd stood on six months before crying my eyes out about what a mess the place was and the dreadful conditions the Cubans had to endure. But Avila saw it another way; he was standing there saying how great life was, how much the people liked Castro. I wrote him an email pronto telling him that I KNEW he was flat-out lying.
Avila got an award from media watchdog group mediaresearch.org for the lies he spun in Cuba after Elian was snatched by the Clintonistas and sent back:
Semper Fidel Award (for Jim Avilas Admiration of Fidel Castro)
"What is deprogramming? What is reeducation? The young man [Elian] will go back into the, into the school system in Cuba. The school system in Cuba teaches that communism is the way to succeed in life and it is the best system. Is that deprogramming or is that national heritage? Thats certainly what hell be learning. Hell also be living in a different kind of society, a society that many people here in Cuba like. The CIA, in fact, says that if the borders were open that most, 90 percent of the population here in Cuba would stay in Cuba because they like it."
-- NBC News reporter Jim Avila from Cuba on CNBCs Upfront Tonight, June 27 " (from
http://www.mediaresearch.org/notablequotables/bestof/2000/best13-15.asp Media corruption runs wide and deep like an open sewer whose stench you cannot escape. It's time to clean it up.

I hope I was wrong. I hope that this will become a big story in the regular media. At least, it looks like people will pay attention to this corruption scandal in the news media for more than a day.

Remember back a few weeks ago when I kept saying that with any luck perhaps the media would be a "casualty" of this war, too?
Today's my birthday. This is a good present.......LOL.

It seems to me that CNN did as much to cover for Clinton as they did to cover for Saddam's regime.

I think there is a reason for protection of reporters from not having to report sources or to be a tool for a government (ie; spy).
But this story just goes beyond any ethical arguement for justification.

I sent versions of this email to all of the links posted at #881:

Dear Mr. Case,
You should hang your head in shame at the revelations of Mr. Eason today. CNN has been complicit in propping up Saddam's bloody regime for at least the last ten years, all from your greedy desire to keep a bureau running in Baghdad.
This is no different than keeping a bureau open in Berlin in 1940 by spiking all news of death camps in order to toady up to Hitler and Goebbels.
SHAME!!!!
I will NEVER tune into CNN again, not for ONE SECOND!
PS: I are well aware that CNN is doing the same "dictator's dance" in Cuba. Disgusting!
