I think there is a sense in irony about all of this.
Terrorist (including the IRA) use drastic and violent measures to cause fear (terror) in the lives of civilians to have their political or other agendas heard.
Thanks you CNN. CNN paid money (I heard 5 digits) to an unnamed source who had access to these videotapes. CNN shows these videotapes and causes fear in Americans. "Hey, this isn't what they have shown that they have the capabilities to do, this is something they might be able to do...... maybe."
If you ask me, CNN has become a tool of the terrorists because 1) they very well have possibly provided funds to a terrorist and 2) they are the source of the fear in America that the terrorists desire.
....Or maybe the Gov't gave the tapes to CNN so that they could wage the perverbial dog.
