has reported that the explosives were "already gone when U.S. troops arrives
at al qaqaa on April 10, 2003. CNN picked up the story and displsyed it as it's
headline story on it's web site last night until 8:00 AM EST today. My skepticism
increased when I observed that, outside of a video report of this story, there
was nothing on MSNBC's website comparable to CNN's feature.
My opinion is that CNN was involved in a transparent effort to aid the Bush
administration in minimizing the fallout from the explosives story by featuring
an NBC reporter's claim that Bushco did not even have an opportunity to
secure the explosives in the first place, at the same time NBC news did not
have enough confidence that the story was signifigant enough to lead with.

If you watched CNN last night, they had stories about missing explosives all night. And now you say CNN is on Bush's side? Sure. Makes total sense. Bush hasn't gotten too many breaks from the media at all, maybe he is due one.
This story will probably loose cred and help Bush. It reminds people of the explosives Iraq had and the danger they posed.
