Hey Aaron Brown and CNN....
how does it feel to be "played".

Mussaraf tossed out the bait and you guys swallowed it hook, line and sinker! Pre-empted everything and had 4-5 hours of incredibly useless coverage over a RUMOR!

Nice going guys..............

1. As I said yesterday
"I'll believe it when I see it, and I expect to see an equal amount of time spent backtracking if it turns out to be untrue."

Like that's gonna happen.

3. Wasn't that great?
For all those dummies who believe in this sort of crap, it underscored how easy it is for the media to be fooled into passing on information they themselves have no way of verifying.

If it were a car chase, and they had no video, they'd say "According to police sources..."

But on this war on terra nonsense, they just seem to swallow first and deflect questions later.

Wolf Blitzer is the worst. Anything the comes from the "coalition" people, Blitzer repeats as gospel. What a dummy! He's as bad as Bob ArNut. Yesterday he repeated the same garbage about "Saddams weapons have yet to be found." Give that one up, Wolf!
