At my lunch break,  CNN carried it for a full half hour (noon est),  with a
great deal about Britain and Canada being the only two nations to support
Clinton's pre-emptive strike.   There was much attention paid as well to the
"strong" positions of Russia and China,  as well as that of the Arab League.

Two "independent" pro-Iraqui commentators were given about 5 minutes each
(in London and Washington) to criticize the Clinton action.

I don't know about the major networks.    We'll see tonight.
