#1 I would advise that little weasel not to visit Serbia. Mr Amanpour was mouthpiece #1 during the Clinton War.

#2 has fueled rumors among Iranian political pundits that some Democratic Party leaders may be attempting to establish unofficial channels of communication with Tehran.

Let me get this straight. "regimechangeiniran.com" reports that "iranfocus" reported that "Baztab", a Persian-language website quoted an anonymous Iranian Foreign Ministry official. And this has fueled rumors amongst unidentified Iranian political pundits.

Hoakey Doakey then.

#3 If CNN is in any way even remotely connected, it's wrong.

#4 It's soooo right in their minds, though, John. Remember how they intentionally hid info on Saddam just to keep a Baghdad office open.

The website quoted the Tehran correspondent of Britains Sky News where Rubin is a regular commentator as saying that the former U.S. official visited Iran in the company of his wife and toured the cities of Tehran, Qom and Isfahan.

I've gotta say, Christiane's family lives in some very interesting cities. Wonder how his tour of their nuclear sites went?

Sedition, Sedition! Sedition!
Sedition, Sedition! Sedition!

Who, day and night, must spin the news one way,
Feed a line of bullshit, slant those things each day?
And who has the right, as master cathode ray,
Not be so truthful each and ev'ry day?

CNN, CNN! Sedition!
CNN, CNN! Sedition!

Who must know the way to slant all that they say,
A where's that, good gone away?
Who hires lackeys of Presidents gone astray ,
So viewers don't have to think on any single day?

CNN, CNN! Sedition!
CNN, CNN! Sedition!

#7 ...When Ronald Reagan tried to set up an 'unofficial' channel of communication, the Donks did their damndest to hang him.
This, of course, is a different story...[sarcasm OFF]
