I want to thank Dave Hardenbrook very, very much for posting that 
moving, anti-racist statement.  I am sending it to everyone I know.  
I want to add something that I received from a friend;  I don't know 
if it is accurate, but the fact that it COULD be is very disturbing 
to me:

CNN USING 1991 FOOTAGE of celebrating Palistinians to manipulate you
(english) Wednesday 12 Sep 2001

I'd like to add some ideas from here, down south.

There's an important point in the power of press, specifically the 
power of CNN.

All around the world we are subjected to 3 or 4 huge news 
distributors, and one of them - as you well know - is CNN. Very well, 
I guess all of you have been seeing (just as I've been) images from 
this company. In particular, one set of images called my attencion: 
the Palestinians celebrating the bombing, out on the streets, eating 
some cake and making funny faces for the camera.

Well, THOSE IMAGES WERE SHOT BACK IN 1991!!! Those are images of
Palestinians celebrating the invasion of Kuwait! It's simply
unacceptable that a super-power of cumminications as CNN uses images
which do not correspond to the reality in talking about so serious an
issue.

A teacher of mine, here in Brazil, has videotapes recorded in 1991, 
with the very same images; he's been sending emails to CNN, Globo 
(the major TV network in Brazil) and newspapers, denouncing what I 
myself classify as a crime against the public opinion. If anyone of 
you has access to this kind of files, serch for it. In the meanwhile, 
I'll try to 'put my hands' on a copy of this tape.
