The News media is not very trustworthy in most cases. They tend to twist and distort interviews and also pick and choose just what they want to show.

Example One:
CNN left coverage of the events on tuesday evening to go live to Kabul.
The imbecile doing the live report said He heard Cruise missles
flying overhead and crashing into the city. They showed the explosions and continued to let this "News Man" yak and quack about the USA attacking Kabul. After 5 minutes of this, someone finally accessed their brain and realized that the leader of the opposition was allegedly killed the day before by a suicide bomber. Then they asked their man on the scene and he was cleary surprised anyone would mention that.

Example Two:
George W. said that all this, the hunting for the culprits and searching for information, reminds him of the old west with the wanted posters. That is paraphrased from a radio report.

The TV News says:
President Bush says Bin Laden wanted Dead or Alive!

They completely distorted what the President said. But then again that's nothing new. That is not to say there aren't honest journalists out there. But when it comes to the electronic media it's always best to wait for confirmation.

I can also provide a link... http://members.home.com/chucklez/wtc/
This site has pictures of folks laying wreaths and flowers at various US Embassies. Including two Palestinian women laying flowers.
It should come as no surprise what-so-ever that not all Palestinians are overjoyed with these events.

Please keep in mind when you hear anything from here on out, wait for confirmation. The TV media is always in a hurry to get the "Breaking News" out to us. But they don't often have any better idea whats going on than you or I do.

Take Care and God Bless Us One and All.
