CNN Airs Terrorist Sniper Killing US Soldier Del Williams
October 19, 2006
CNN aired a terrorist sniper killing a US soldier. They blacked out the screen when the bullet hit, but that did not stop the sound or description that they went on to share.
According to CNN, “The graphic video of 10 sniper attacks was obtained by CNN -- through intermediaries --from the Islamic Army of Iraq, one of the most active insurgent organizations in Iraq.”
Are critics correct in their assessment that CNN is full of terrorist sympathizers? Well, after their report on “In the Footsteps of Bin Laden,” there might be a case.
Why did the terrorist feel confident in sending CNN the footage? They did not just receive one tape, but multiple; all confirmed in the validity of the actions that the sniper took.
One of CNN’s analysts called the sniper attacks the most effective thing they have seen. “The deadly tactic is one the U.S. military also uses to take out insurgents”, according to CNN. They seem be telling them how good they are at using our strategies to kill our men.
Whether someone agrees with the war or not is immaterial. The point is that some people have the audacity to kill our men and send our news organizations the footage to show of it. That takes a lot of chutzpah for any enemy that America has. It takes even more for an American owned company to broadcast.
I know that there is freedom of the press, but has CNN ever heard of decency? Do they think because they are “Friends” with the enemy that that will stop them from kidnapping one of their journalists? Perhaps it was just a showing to beat the competition, but maybe the competition has enough class not to show an American being gunned down by a terrorist.
I saw that.
Pitiful...
cnn should have their license pulled.
God bless our military!
CNN reporters should be shunned and shamed by gummint officials for this piece of rat $hit enemy propaganda.
Well, when you're desperate for ratings...........
Next up, NBC...........
And still no footage of injured people in 911 that might "rile up" Americans against CNN's buddies the terrorists.
The network should be shut down and the reporter involved captured and tried in Guantanamo. I wouldn't mind seeing a bounty placed on them. They need to get as much info from the reporter on the enemy as possible before they hang him.
SO far I have sent three emails and a blog to CNN letting them know how I feel about this treason.
I hope that Other FREEPERS will do the same!!!!
What was that statement? You are either with us or ....
I guess we know on what side of the fence they are on. Disgraceful.
We are a military family, and I have already sent a message to CNN that from this minute on CNN will be blocked from our dish.
I'd boycott them on the sheer principle of it, but I haven't watched them in years.
If, however, cnn showed a picture of a US sniper taking out a TERRORIST, it would be labeled as the murder of an insurgent and calling for the human rights people to take action. I hope cnn can't pay the utility bill soon.
Try them for treason, shoot them, and burn down CNN headquarters.
DESPICABLE!!
"Show me a video of Studio execs being shot by snipers and then I might watch."
That's a video I would PAY to see.....again and again.
How much did they pay?
Ted, Fonda, Kerry, Murtha, the whole lot of them are tratiors, oh yes forgot the media.
I just happened to click by and and saw it.
They are totally disgusting!
You have freepmail...;-)
This reminds me of the CNN policy of not showing reports of what went on in Hussein's Iraq because they didn't want to make him mad and lose their "access". And Operation Tailwind, another shining moment for CNN.
However, they apparently have no problem airing terrorist videos of our troops being killed. They are disgusting, revolting people at that network.
I found the email addresses for the TimeWarner/Cnn Board of Directors and all the members of the FCC Board....;-)
Maybe the FCC will rattle CNN's cage here.....who knows.
I sure let them know what my feelings were....;-)
Freepers GO GET EM!!!!!
STOP IT, JUST STOP YOU DAMED GOULISH LIBERAL BASTARDS
Can you post a clickable web-site for these traitors of America?
Glad to- ;-)

Traitors!
One can't watch anything except FOX. I had to endure NBC Nightly News a few days ago and it was foul. Yesterday I saw a bit of CNN and they were interviewing a soldier who was dissing the Bush administration. CNN is trying to demoralize the public, no doubt about. Their offices should be raided and they should be shut down until they turn over the sources that gave them this video. What would FDR do?? What a DISGRACE!!!!
I am surprised they didnt send a copy over to CBS, katie would have loved showing that.
What is it with the American Left and snuff films?
I served in Iraq last year when the Texas Army National Guard was called to support Operation Iraqi Freedom. While serving, the soldiers had to put up with CNN's almost totally negative view of the war. None of the many positive events made your news program. I often said that "to CNN, if it's not blowing up - it's not news". Now, I am disgusted by CNN's decision to air this video. No amount of spin can justify the damage you have done to the families of soldiers serving our country during trying times. My prayers are with those soldiers serving now and their families. I will not forget your organization's callous approach to this story. No matter how you try to rationalize your decision - you did it simply for the ratings. You had a 'hot item' and could not resist. No, I won't forget. You might as well change the CNN logo to Al Jazerra.

I'm going to notify Direct TV that I what turner owned and affiliated stations removed from my package. This is includes:
CNN
Headline News
TBS
TMC
The enemies of the US could not make their stance any more clear. They hate us and want to destroy our ability to defend ourselves.
I urge other freepers to contact their service providers, whether Comcast, DishTV or most especially Timewarner and demand accountability.
Thanks..;-)
I've been watching FoxNews for 4 years now. When I do peek at network news and the other cable news stations, I can't believe how blatantly bias they have become. I thought it was bad during 2000, but now it's actually beyond bias.. It's stepped over the line to Treasonous!
CNN. MSM
I think we have finally developed three letter swear words.
CNN was a willing mouth piece of Iraqis so they could keep their Baghdad office open - their words not mine.
CNN ran off a cliff in their rush to report on “Tailwind”.
There was an “urban legend” that CNN was highly upset with the military during DESERT STORM for being too successful. Seems they had to give back large sums of money because the war ended too early and they had to replace the higher costing war adds with lower costing peacetime adds. This was supposedly reported by a commissioned military officer on loan to CNN to learn the broadcasting business as part of his future duties.
There were also reports from the “Highway of Death” of news reporters reigniting fires to create a good background.
There were also reports from Vietnam about reporters firing up a hooch so they would have a good background.
There were reports of Vietnam era reporters willing to let their own countrymen walk into ambushes so they could maintain their “journalistic integrity”.
Yet, who provides us with our freedoms? CNN with their reporters and cameramen? Don’t think a video tape or disc is much of a counter to an AK-74, an IED, or a dull sword.
Yes, we have done what was though to be impossible - developed a series of three letter swear words.
I have to wonder if CNN loaned the camera to the Islamic Army of Iraq.
This was disgusting. Also see this thread:

These Bloodsuckers are nothing more than spies for our Foes, you have to watch Fox news to get close to the truth.
It goes much deeper than ghoulishness. Airing this tape is part a concerted effort to turn Americans (and the world) against the Bush adminstration. That is a relentless drumbeat that CNN plays 24-7. As do all the other networks save FOX. No wonder the polls look so bad. It is treason, and nobody seems to do a damn thing about it.
Exactly!!!!!!
If I were Fox News I would show 9/11 over and over for the next 18 days.
Preface it with:
The MSM feels it necessary to use Terrorists killing brave American soldiers as a political statement.
This is why the MSM is showing it: Roll Tape.
Aren't these the same cowards who refused to air the Danish cartoons?
The family of the soldier should sue the pants off of them.
Aren't these the same cowards who refused to air the Danish cartoons?
The family of the soldier should sue the pants off of them.
It was hard to express in civilized words what I think about these money-grubbing, cowardly, amoral, treasonous, sick-minded bastards at the Criminal News Network.
