I've looked for that report, and it is not on the Web site. Sourcing is everything. If video was supplied to them by the Iraqi government, that would be one thing. If one of their guys shot the film, that would be quite another.

Smart news consumers will judge their stories and sourcing criticially just as they would that of any other news organization.
