Since when is "might have" been news?
I am so sick of breaking might be news... Think GWB and crew will try to defend eavesdropping? Hey, that might be it!! LOL

CNN you WERE news I could trust until you started trying to OUT fox FOX. Poor Ted Turner must be so disappointed that the news outlet he started has become such a propoganda tool. I remember the old days, too.

2. People remember "might have" as "DID happen."
For a while there, lots of people thought we'd found WMD in Iraq, just because there were so many stories saying we might have.

Maybe they got Zawahiri, and maybe he's real! I wouldn't know. But I know I've been turned pretty cynical... my first instinct is always, Yeah, right. They've been crying wolf so much...
