fyi, a private email I have received: "we had also heard from ___ (pacifist peace activist in St. Louis) that the initial film footage of some Palestians celebrating the terrorist attacks was old footage -- a friend of his had found the old footage in a video library that the friend keeps." Note that this does NOT rely on any Brazilian source. (I have the person's name but am not distributing it to any list). Note that the footage being contested may be different in one part of the world than in another, so that any CNN denial may not be a denial of the actual contested footage.
