#1 CNN has long been the American Beeb, I have low expectations about their objectivity, that way I'm never suprised when they toss out intentionally slanted crap such as this.

#2 CNN must have gotten the word. The new headline is Document appears to seek al Qaeda help in Iraqand link is here.

3d paragraph of the article reads: But the writer (Zarqawi Memo) states that few Iraqis have been willing to support his fighters beyond offering them refuge, and said they will "lose the pretext" for waging attacks if a new Iraqi government takes power as scheduled at the end of June.

#3 CNN must have gotten the word.

Heh, they got caught with their little peters out. Whatever may have passed before isn't going to do so now.

#4 beyond offering them refuge

My understanding is that offering them refuge ties into Islam somehow.

And CNN is going down the drain with Fox News wiping the floor with them in ratings. Even the Democratic debates are going for Fox News instead of CNN. Good sign that the rats are abandoning the sinking ship.

#5 Even as they get kicked to the curb, MovinOn.org grasps the batton and commences to run with it.
