If only CNN displayed the same restraint with other videos
18 August 2006Choice quotes from Video provokes questions of Lebanese army:
[...] However, it is possible that unpleasant parts of the video were deleted during editing. [...] The actions, as depicted in a video where parts may have been deleted
and edited [...]
A video of Hezbollah staging of corpses? No, a video apparently taken by the Israeli military:
The video, shot by Israelis on August 10, when Israeli troops “took control” of the southern Lebanese town of Marjeyoun, aired on Israel’s Channel 2 on Wednesday.
“Took control”? I’ll say. CNN provides a link so you can decide; of couse, it may be edited:
(Watch the video to see if it suggests treason or courtesy — 2:29)
This exchange, though, is priceless:
Daoud: “Don’t we need to tell our bosses?”
Israeli soldier: “Tell whoever you want.”
Daoud: “We need to brief them on what happened.”
Israeli soldier: “We briefed (U.S. President) Bush. You brief whoever you want.”
Daoud: “We need to brief Bush too.”
Ah, it all becomes clear now.
