Did anyone else catch this on Anderson Cooper 360 last night?
Top of the show, from the transcript:

MICHAEL WARE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Anderson, for the past two hours, Beirut has been a city under attack. Israeli warplanes circling overhead have unleashed a barrage of bombs on the capital, on its southern outskirts and closer within.

It started about two hours ago. The bombs have been falling in clusters, mostly on a -- on an -- a heavily popular, or a Shia area to the south of the city, near Beirut international airport. The focus of the attack very much has been concentrated on this area.

It must be said that, shortly before the -- before dusk yesterday afternoon, Israeli planes dropped leaflets, warning residents of three areas of impending attacks, advising them to evacuate. The area that is currently under assault was not one of these three areas. There's also airstrikes in the northeast, in the Bekaa Valley, the traditional Hezbollah stronghold.

(Emphasis mine.)

Leaflet three areas and then bomb a different place? That seems terribly wrong to me. And I had a hard time believing they were reporting so on CNN.

Fugg Olmert, Bush and Blair.

4. I only watched a little of 360 last night
so I missed it. I really like Anderson Cooper, but the lead in music and teasers for upcoming segments make me ill. They make this horrible war seem like some fake "reality show" or something. Example; The lead in was about Hezbollah saying it would send rockets into Tel Aviv if Israel bombed Beirut. On the screen, in big yellow (I think)letters with a red background, it read "Oh Yeah?!" The man that speaks during these lead ins has this awful game show host modulation to his voice that just sickens me. O.K. Thanks for allowing me to vent.
