Palestinians Cheering?

I heard from a co-worker that there was a story on cnn.com yesterday that stated that the images of Palestinians cheering after the WTC disaster was in fact footage from 1991’s Gulf War. This was then seconded by someone else in the office who said that she saw this on cnn.com too. Has anyone else seen this story? If this is true then it is pretty disturbing, considering that the news media did this just to make us more angry.

You can find the details on http://www.snopes.com.

I think this link works better.

I’ll close this thread because there is already an active thread on this subject. Any remaining unanswered questions are directed to the earlier thread, Dancing Palestinians
