Thanks for posting the link to the debunking rumors site, I had heard (and believed) the one about CNN airing old footage of Palestinians celebrating. Oh well, it's so tempting to doubt that corporate media will provide accurate information sometimes. In Portland, Oregon, USA, I have been distracted by my job in a psychiatric crisis unit and by my second job in a women's treatment center. Today the women were distraught to learn that the President was sending troops "somewhere," although most of them had no idea where. Here are women, crack and heroin addicts with hardly anything to their name, and they want to have a canned food drive "for the soldiers." I wonder what will happen to social services in this country, or health care in general. Nothing like war mongering to take the attention off the painful day to day aspects of life in the good old US of A.
