EDITOR'S NOTE: This report was written in accordance with Pentagon ground rules allowing so-called embedded reporting, in which journalists join deployed troops. Among the rules accepted by all participating news organizations is an agreement not to disclose sensitive operational details. Thomas Nybo is accompanying U.S. troops with the 173 Airborne Brigade.

How long has the Complicity News Network been including this snotty disclaimer on this pieces?

I noticed that. Gee, did they have disclaimers about restrictions on their reports from Iraq? Hmmmm?

Don't know, but they never included a disclaimer like this when reporting out of Iraq under the influence of minders.

We must beware of anything that CNN puts out about WMD finds!

We've seen this picture a couple of places now.

And does anyone remember that gray mettalic tank thingie from a week or so ago, which also looked suspicious? Maybe that picture could be located as well.

My point is:

Maybe there's some military people here who could give some opinions.

And what about these field tests? I would like just one reporter to find out whether these field tests can distinguish between, say, Sarin vs. an insecticide, or, as another example, Plutonium vs. depleted uranium waste.

Why don't any reporters ever ask these information-producing questions?

more smoke from the smoldering gun...I believe it. He's right about the pictures...they're busted for sure. Now we have to find the big containers and drums full of bio.

"We must beware of anything that CNN puts out about WMD finds!"

Grampa Dave, after the relevations we heard yesterday (framed so well by Rush on his program opener), we must beware of anything CNN puts out about everything--not just WMD finds!

Oh, how I hate the seemingly endless supply of evil minions attached to the Clintons. The Clintons placed the world in grave danger with all they accomplished. I will never forgive them for that.

Oh well, according to CNN, any of these finds are nothing more than pesticides. So, move on, nothing to see here </sarcasm> off

Excellent point. We must not trust nor believe the Whore$ at the Clinton Noodle Net on any story they come up with.

Yes, I do believe that is a Mark V al-Canof Ra'id pesticide warhead. Standard issue in the Middle East; primarily used for eradication of swarming hordes of locusts. Or infidels.

CNN getting a little defensive all of a sudden?? But what's this little disclaimer have to do with CNN having specific knowledge of ongoing atrocities in Saddam's regime, for YEARS, while keeping quiet about it and then dissing the administration for doing something about it???

They've had a disclaimer from the beginning, but it's grown since then (kinda Pinnochio-like)

Seems like a really harsh way to apply pesticides. Me'thinks it might really tear up the tomatoes to have one of those land in the patch.

primarily used for eradication of ... infidels.

Heck, the only people the Iraqis have ever used chem weapons on are Kurds and Iranians, who are all Muslims.

Maybe you ought to check your assumptions.
