In yesterday's post I stated: >If the CNN clips were genuinely filmed after the NYC/DC attacks and in >response to the news of the attacks (and the jury is still out on this) I am >obviously prepared to accept this and happy to apologise to all concerned. It seems that 'the jury' is back, Thanks to Deb Messling's post I have visited the 'debunking' web site referenced below and it seems clear that this rumour has been exposed as a fake. http://www.snopes2.com/inboxer/outrage/cnn.htm Consequently I apologise for spreading this rumour without checking its veracity more closely and as a result causing more people to take it as true (I thought three differently worded versions in three different languages would be enough!). How sad that these days one has to go to a web site to check information that even friends swear to you is true. It's sad but every time more necessary. If we care about truth, and I'm sure all of us here do, then we must all be more careful. All I can say in my favour is that I let my enthusiasm (some may say my prejudice, I know) get the better of my judgment. Mike in Barcelona NP - Humble Pie.
