Re: Old CNN footage?



I don't know about the source for footage, but several independent media
sources in Israel reported the celebrations.  Whatever CNN was showing,
there remained a certain amount of celebration in Palestinian areas
immediately following the events of Tuesday.  Several journalists had their
tapes of a pro-Bin Laden rally confiscated by PA security forces, and one
photographer was told not to get his pictures printed under any
circumstances.

I don't want to cause another brouhaha here, but there is a great deal of
misinformation coming out of that part of the world and there's no reason to
take everything at face value.  The Jerusalem Post is known for (relatively)
straightforward coverage.  I would point out, moreover, that if anyone
really wants to know what's being said among the Palestinians, read what's
in the Arabic-language media, not what comes out in English.

Wearing my bias clearly on my sleeve,

DS
