It's weird you know - because I was watching CNN and heard this. But all of the English news channels said that the Taliban had said they WOULD resume jihad against the US if the US bombed Afghanistan. There is a huge difference between the 2 statements.
I have noticed that CNN is reporting only some things, not others, showing 9 year old clips of Palestinians celebrating (that clip was from when Kuwait was invaded, not the WTC atrocity) and it worries me that many people in the US are being lied to by their news channels and may not have access to other sources of information. Heck, the BBC and ITN are not perfect, but there is much more information on them, which sometimes gives a different picture.
