James, there was no support for the contention that CNN showed footage from 1991, but you jumped on it as proof of intentional media manipulation. Here is the official response, published on a pro-arab website: Various rumours circulating on the Internet -- alleging that the Reuters footage depicting Palestinians celebrating in the wake of the attacks in the U.S. was in fact footage from a different event -- are false. Still images, such as the Associated Press image above, were additionally shot by photographers from a variety of wire service agencies. Reuters' International Editor, Anthony Williams, confirmed to The Electronic Intifada that "This material was shot on Tuesday. The suggestion that it was old is false." Mike Hanna, Jerusalem bureau chief of CNN, the media organisation named in many versions of the rumour, told us that, "I can unequivocally state that the footage shown on CNN of a small group of Palestinians "celebrating" was shot by a Reuters crew in East Jerusalem on Tuesday. The allegation that it was shot at any other time is contemptible."
