CNN's Ed Henry Spars with Snow

TruthDig.com has named CNN's Ed Henry "Truthdigger of the Week" after his ongoing match with Tony Snow and George the Liar this week regarding claims that the US had evidence that the “highest levels” of the Iranian government are supplying bomb-making materials to the Iraqi insurgency.

After questioning Tony Snow about the contradictions between the White House story and General Peter Pace's version, Henry then asked George the Liar the following day, which can be viewed on my previous post.


This is a must see video: Ed Henry confronts Tony Snow.

While watching this video, there is a split screen showing a nice PowerPoint presentation of the supposed Iranian weapons being used. I don't know if they are a dramatization of the weapons claimed to be used, or the actual weapons. If it is the latter, can anyone answer why there is English writing on the weapons? If they were Iranian, wouldn't they be marked in Farsi? Also, take a look at the date stenciled on the side of the bomb. "3-2006" would seem to be March, 2006. The US is the only country in the world to my knowledge that uses the month and year in that order. Everyone else uses the year first, then the month. Are we seeing pictures of our own weapons trying to be passed off as evidence of Iranian weaponry?

Finally, on Thursday, Henry reported that the White House was now saying that—oops—the anonymous U.S. military briefers in Baghdad had misspoken in claiming to have evidence that the “highest levels” of the Iranian government is supplying bomb-making materials to the Iraqis.

GREAT JOB, ED! I hope the mainstream media is taking notes. Maybe they'll finally start waking up and take these people to task.

Nice catch Carl, I avoid Kyra P and can't read everything so it was nice to see the TruthDig piece. Thanks.
