1. That freaked me out the first time I heard about it

I remember as a semi-sheeple thinking that well, gee, if the Iraqis were so happy, maybe it was a good thing we took Saddam out. Then, a while later, as part of my awakening, I saw that picture above. I felt like such a shmuck.

2. Isn't it telling that CNN is still catapulting the same discredited shit...

"The Most Trusted Name in News" my ass...

[Webster Green]

3. And they must know that scene was de-bunked on the Internets..

Yet they still show it.

5. A HUGE amount of money is being spent to keep that last 25%...

in the Bush camp....

8. It was debunked the same day the "story" broke

The images of the nearly empty square were available on the internet within minutes of the media playing up the story, yet they continued to report on it for weeks and now years despite the fact that they knew it was a propaganda piece to begin with.

19. One can only wonder how often the deceit is not so obvious

It's a freaky world we live in.

4. I wonder what Chalabi is doing nowadays

what a con man

6. I haven't watch cable/satellite news or the MSM since 2004, because it is worthless

In this country there is no honor in journalism. That was lost when reagan took over and removed the fairness in broadcasting

corporations now control the agenda

Another mandate that the Democrats in congress better take note about

11. I think CNN knows this...

and is intentionally promoting it as a lie.

[Junkdrawer]

14. Maybe it's a signal to viewers that the current "Everyone's happy with Saddam's execution"...

footage is a similar lie.

12. Email this to them n/t

13. It never hurts to remind everyone that Corpomedia is 100%

compromised.

15. I remember some enthusiastic threads even on DU that day...

I didn't need all of that evidence at the time to smell the manipulation.

Salem Chalabi, the man organising the trial of Saddam Hussein, was facing a murder charge himself last night after an Iraqi judge issued a warrant for his arrest.

Another was issued for his uncle Ahmed Chalabi, the founder of the Iraqi National Congress and a former key ally of the US. He is accused of money laundering.

Both men denied the accusations, which they said were politically motivated.

Salem Chalabi, head of the Iraqi Special Tribunal, was named as a suspect for the murder in June of Haithem Fadhil, director general of the finance ministry.

20. I remember watching the toppling on CNN.

Some female "reporter" was saying that thousands and thousands of Iraqi's were cheering and celebrating in the streets. They were panning the area and I saw what is in the picture in your post. I thought, what is this ***** talking about??!!?? There might be 50 people in that plaza. I wondered if she thought everybody was getting hypnotized by her voice??!!??
