I agree with Liz. This violates journalistic principles (old footage can be used but must be labeled "file footage" or similar) and would expose CNN to withering criticism from its competitors and other journalists. Worth ignoring. -Declan On Thu, Sep 13, 2001 at 01:46:16PM -0700, lizard wrote:

Reading through the following comments, it seems unlikely. Possible, but unlikely. The evidence, at this point, consists of an obviously anti-US poster referring to an unnamed Professor with an unseen tape. That's pretty low on the rely-o-meter.
I won't say it's impossible, but I want a better source.
