Coming back to the topic of cenzoship on CNN. Today, approx at 20:30 GMT +1 (Berlin time) I went _by_chance_ to www.cnn.com and was surprised! Woa. On the front page I saw reference to article: 
 
                  Croat army shelled civilians, report 
                  says 
                  War crimes panel reportedly recommends 
                  indicting generals 
 
Oho, I thought, what a thing. How long will it keep up this way when 
NATO goes to bomb Serbia? 
Well the text of an article from the cache of my Netscape reader: 
 
Croat army shelled civilians, report says 
 
        War crimes panel reportedly recommends 
        indicting generals 
 
         March 21, 1999 
         Web posted at: 12:56 a.m. EST (0556 GMT) 
 
         NEW YORK (CNN) — International war crimes tribunal 
         investigators have reportedly concluded that the Croatian 
         army carried out "ethnic cleansing" of Serbs during a 
         1995 assault.  
 
         Sunday's New York Times, quoting unpublished tribunal 
         documents, said investigators accuse Croatia of summary 
         executions and indiscriminate shelling of civilian 
         populations and have recommended that three Croatian 
         generals be indicted.  
 
         A U.S. official said the indictments could come within a 
         few weeks, according to the paper.  
 
         The indictments would be the first against Croatian army 
         officers for actions in the Balkan wars of 1991 to 1995, 
         which first pitted an independence-seeking Croatia 
         against rebel Serbs and Serbia proper, and then moved to 
         Bosnia.  
 
         The Times said a spokesman for the Croatian Ministry of 
         Defense denied that any war crimes or other illegal acts 
         were committed during the offensive, which the Croatians 
         dubbed Operation Storm.  
 
         In just four days of Operation Storm the Croatian army 
         regained territory held by rebel Serbs for four years. 
         The Croatian army then linked up with Bosnian Croat 
         forces and began to roll over Serbian units in 
         neighboring Bosnia. Those defeats, along with NATO 
         bombing, helped bring the Serbs to the negotiating table 
         in Dayton, Ohio.  
 
         The Croatian army drove more than 100,000 Serbs from 
         their ancestral homelands.  
 
         Summary executions 
 
         A section of the tribunal's 150-page report quoted by the 
         Times says: "During the course of the military offensive, 
         the Croatian armed forces and special police committed 
         numerous violations of international humanitarian law, 
         including, but not limited to, shelling of Knin and other 
         cities.  
 
         "During, and in the 100 days following the military 
         offensive, at least 150 Serb civilians were summarily 
         executed, and many hundreds disappeared."  
 
         The report says investigators gathered "sufficient 
         material to establish that the three generals who 
         commanded the military operation" could be held 
         accountable under international law.  
 
         These officers, the report charges, were responsible for 
         driving the Serbs out of the area, a process that became 
         known as "ethnic cleansing".  
 
         The tribunal has begun an internal investigation to 
         determine who provided The New York Times with a copy of 
         the report on Operation Storm, two former tribunal 
         officials told the paper last week.  
 
         To date, the war crimes tribunal, set up by the United 
         Nations in 1993, has indicted 83 people, most of them 
         Serbs, the paper said.  
 
         Reuters contributed to this report. 
 
Well, the article got disappeared after 21:30 GMT+1. there is no references in CNN search on this article, nothing. 
 
According to article's title it was posted at 5:56 PM GMT. Got removed 
after 8:30 GMT. 1 hour 30 minutes. Pretty strange for www.cnn.com where some articles could sit for a few days in political topics. 
 
Natasha, you can see CNN, can't you? Didn't you get everything already? No? Then look attentively, you will find striking similarities with "Pravda". 
 
Good luck? 
 
P.S. I've full http copies of the page. 
The page is not removed completely yet, you can reach it yourself directly typing in: http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/europe/9903/21/croatia.warcrimes.01/ 
but you can't locate it using any search engine or whatever. I tried. 
So I think it will be removed soon.
