Fox News just reporting that a CNN crew were invited to the compound to view results, which led to the cnx mission
Hang on, are you saying CNN were invited there to view the results of the attack before the attack took place, or do you mean a previous attack? Are we 'bouncing rubble' already, to quote Colin Powell?

And here's me thinking the Tornado crew were alerted by some high-flying Predator, spy satellite or SF team.

So the planners were watching CNN but not the BBC, otherwise they would have known there were civilian human shield camping out within 50 metres of the suspected command bunker which was struck. Or were they confident they could take the shot?
