If that is true . . .

Post #9,049 by Andrew Grygus 9/14/01 3:03:43 AM Reply	If that is true . . . . . then CNN should be taken off the air for a month. If that is true, it should be considered a criminal act, and those responsible punished severely. Being banned from the news media for life seems the minimum that would be acceptable. Unless there is overwhelming mitigating circumstances. It is said Arafat's organization was threatening the life of a cameraman if his footage was shown. If that was a credible threat and caused the footage to not be available, then there is justification for use of library footage, and my statement above is void. The punishment should be elsewhere (but the substitution should still have been footnoted). [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

And why wouldn't they want us to know about it if their cameramen were harassed? [link\|http://www.angelfire.com/ca3/marlowe/index.html\|http://www.angelfir...e/index.html]

Presumably they'd wait until the cameramen are "safely" home beofre speaking of the matter. Will the censors stop short of tracking them down and killing them in the free world? If not, why wouldn't they also go after every reporter and news anchorman who criticises the Palestininas at all? Might they even go after you and I? See, this is why I remain pseudonymous. Let the murderous assholes of the world try to track down Philip Marlowe, and kill him in his flat at the Hobart Arms in Los Angeles, California. Or maybe they'll just ram an airliner into the Cahuenga building. [link\|http://www.angelfire.com/ca3/marlowe/index.html\|http://www.angelfir...e/index.html]
