We Wanna Hear Powell's Anniversary Speech...

I was watching CNN early in the morning the other day when I saw the strangest thing. The early morning CNN commentator said they were switching to Baghdad and one of Saddam's palaces for a press conference with Colin Powell on the one year anniversary of the start of the war. What I saw on CNN on the morning of March 19th @ about 650AM EST was the following: as Powell and Bremer walked out on stage--there was a voice feed in three languages, French, Arabic and badly Arab-accented English talking about the murder of two German journalists by US Imperialist Forces. Audio cut to the CNN commentator who said they were trying to find out who was doing the speaking. Then the audio stopped and the journalists had a moment of silence for their fallen colleagues. One by one and silently, they filed out of the room. It appeared as if all the foreign journalists left, about 90% of the room cleared out. Colin Powell looked mortified but then spoke for a few minutes and took a few questions, one from a woman with the Miami Herald and another from Peter Jennings, ABC. His speech for the year anniverary of the war was supposed to be so good according to the CNN commentator, he looked flabbergasted and mortified that this had happened, kinda flustered he tried to speak and offered a lot of excuses about civilian deaths in wartime. According to eyewitnesses, these reporters were shot in cold blood while in a caravan with US troops. CNN quickly preempted him and his speech with another news story...we have heard very little about this and it should have been a big story in the media.
