No, not the Syrians or the Iranians — CNN. Reversing under duress its policy with regard to the western media, Hezbollah brought CNN to the Beirut suburbs for a quicky tour of the destruction Israel has inflicted. Actually it was a running tour. Hezbollah’s communications director, a yound guy named Nabulsi (I think), raced around the rubble with Nic Robertson following. Nabulsi paused only (and briefly) to tell the CNN cameraman where to shoot and to express breathless defiance towards Israel. These guys are supposed to be media saavy, but what I got out of this Monty Pythonesque routine (and the decision to stage it) was a clear sense of panic on Hezbollah’s part.
