Aired on CNN, but possibly propaganda for rival Middle East state? I’m sure some are celebrating. I’m sure some are scared. I’m not sure why the need to sell us so hard on the attacks today. The next few days we might learn more, but it seems strange that many who ask for well established facts before commenting are just fine with narratives built with piecemeal facts.
