    I found this page an interesting read particularly the section under ' The United States and Middle East: Why Do “They” Hate Us? By Stephen R. Shalom '

    But some of the stuff is rubbish, for example the statement below which AFAIK was proven to be bull as a particular car seen in the footage was said not to have existed in '91? However don't let that put you off the rest of the articles their pretty interesting.
    CNN showed the Palestinians celebrating the bombing, out on the streets, eating some cake and making funny faces for the camera. THOSE IMAGES WERE SHOT BACK IN 1991!!! Those were images of Palestinians celebrating the invasion of Kuwait! It’s simply unacceptable that a super-power of communications as CNN uses images, which do not correspond to the reality in talking about so serious an issue.

    Considering the Pentagon bought up all the footage, past, present and future, of all the images from civilian satellites over Afghanistan and nearby areas, just in case the media gets hold of something 'sensational', I'd believe anything. I dont know about this incident, but these things have happened in the past, outside of wartime. It's called propaganda. Biased news is one thing but blatant propaganda is another.

    I'd love someone to confirm or deny that accusation.

    Oh the best one was, Newsweek 3 days after Osama Bin Laden went on Tv and stated US citizens would never know any security so long as the people of Palestine did not know any? Newsweek led with a similar article, "Why do they hate us"?, the conclusion seemingly was that Arabs are jealous of the US and it's money! Three days after, talk about denial!
