Sept. 14 (iviews.com) As major US media outlets compete to provide the

latest information in their around the clock coverage of the terror

attacks that shook the nation, many have admitted they provided

conflicting and sometimes incorrect information about the ensuing criminal

investigation.

In an almost unprecedented admission of error, CNN apologized for

reporting that one of the men detained by authorities was a suspect.

In a report filed Wednesday,  the 24 hour cable channel reported that

Adnan Bukhari and Ameer Bukhari of Vero Beach Florida were suspected

to be two of the pilots who crashed planes into the World Trade

Center.  However, CNN later learned that Adnan Bukhari was still in

Florida, where he was questioned by the FBI.  In an apology to viewers,

CNN admitted that Bukhari passed an FBI polygraph and was not a

suspect.  CNN also reported that his brother Ameer died in a small plane

crash last year.


"We are sorry for the misinformation," CNN said in a statement.


And in another embarrassment to the network which prides itself in

providing the latest breaking news on international events, CNN

provided breaking news coverage of bombings in Kabul, and suggested

that perhaps the US government could have been behind the attack.

During the "breaking news" coverage, Judy Woodruff, a long-time

Washington based anchor, admitted on the air she did not realize

Afghanistan was in the midst of a civil war.  Later in the day, a

spokesperson for the US State Department denied reports it was

involved in any attacks in Afghanistan.


On Friday morning, reporters for the major US networks, gingerly

backed down from reports of the previous evening which told of another

attempted terrorist attack.  John Miller of ABC news was among the first

to report Thursday evening that federal authorities may have thwarted

another possible attempt to hijack planes leaving from John F. Kennedy

and LaGuardia airports in New York.  Quoting reliable sources "high" in

the law enforcement community, Miller reported that the suspects were

arrested at the airport and taken off an airplane because they were

carrying false identification, flight manuals and knives.


But Friday morning, Miller corrected earlier statements and reported

after "a night of confusion", authorities released almost all the

"suspects" without charge.  Describing the arrests as an "over

reaction", NBC's Pete Williams admitted Friday that reports the suspects

were carrying weapons were false.

                         DEFINING APARTHEID

Article 2 of the "International Convention of the Suppression and
Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid" of 1973 clearly defined the
term "crime of apartheid." This includes similar policies and practices
of segregation and discrimination as practiced in South Africa and
which also apply to inhuman acts committed for the purpose of the
establishment and maintaining of domination by one racial group over
another. This includes the deliberated imposition of living conditions
calculated to cause physical destruction and any legislative or other
measures preventing a racial group from full development of their
political, social, economic and cultural life.  This is an accurate
description of what the zionists are doing to the Palestinian people
with the full support of the USA.
