Have any American TV stations shown the Kidnappers Video?

.
.
.

I just realized that I haven't seen it on this board.

They've been showing the videos of people blindfolded with knives at their throats and gunmen walking around.

It's been on CBC/CTV and CBC Newsworld a few times already . .

2. CNN

You're talking about the Japanese captives right? CNN just showed them a little while ago as well as the two Israelis.

5. The "Corporate Media" doesn't want to rock the boat

Want real news? Watch the CBC or BBC.

Want more Kobe updates? Watch the Corporate Media brought to you by defense contractor General Electric, Viacom and Disney.

9. This is going to send my wife into a tizzy

Edited on Thu Apr-08-04 12:39 PM by Pillowbiter

She is still a Japanese citizen, and really hates that Japan has troops in Iraq, because according to the constitution enforced upon them by the US after WW2, they are not allowed to have their army in a foreign country.

But the US has not been known for keeping it's deals, even it's own.

All I can say is, those poor souls.

11. Is this the story John Burns (NYT) told last night on Charlie Rose?

Burns and other reporters were led 90 miles out of Baghdad for a news conference that turned out to be a trap.
