Angry CNN to Air Terrorist Video Showing American Military Being Killed by Snipers

Has anyone else heard about this? I've heard it on Fox News but can find a link to it.

It's outrageous for an American TV stations to show a video like this, especially after they stopped showing the people jumping out of the Twin Towers because they were too graphic (or because they knew it would keep the anger at the Islamic radicals going?).

So now that there's a chance it will turn Americans against the war, graphic is ok? Also, the timing (right before an important election) is suspicious. We all know that the terrorist organizations are desperate to influence our elections and get the people in office who will be either sympathic to them or easily frightened off from doing anything effective. CNN is cooperating with the terrorists.

This, the same unbiased news organization that covered up Saddam Hussein's atrocities so they would be allowed to stay in Iraq.

Well, I sure don't, Katie. I don't watch TV, and we couldn't get CNN if we did watch it. I think it would be outrageous to show this.

I got in on the tail end of a newscast and apparently they did show it. I still can't find a link.
