Some of the video can be seen here:

http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/08/17/mideast.main/

In the video, the reporter roughly translates an exchange between the Lebanese general and the Israeli forces, in which they both ask whether they should notify their people. "Notify whomever you want," says one of the IDFers. "We'll notify Bush." "We'll notify Bush too," the general laughs.

But CNN did not include the general's last line in their story, without which the entire thing narrates as a complete political fireball.

You see, the story came to them via their International bureau, which is produced in Britain.
