CNN SENIOR MANAGEMENT LAUNCHES INVESTIGATION OF CHENEY 'X'; CONTROL ROOM STAFFER 'LAUGHED' WHEN X FLASHED
CNN management has launched an internal investigation into how a giant black 'X' mark appeared over Vice President Dick Cheney's face -- as he delivered a speech from Washington on Monday!
"We are taking this matter very, very seriously, and I can assure you no one at this network would ever deliberately place an 'X' over the vice president's face," a top CNN source, who asked not to be named at this time, said from New York.
A well-placed CNN insider claims a control room staffer "laughed" when the image appeared shortly after 11 am.
A careful review of the tape now shows a white colored 'X' was also transposed over Cheney's face during the speech, it appeared for less than 1/15 of a second, creating a startling flash effect.
CNN spokeswoman Laurie Goldberg emails: "We concluded this was a technological malfunction not an issue of operator error. A portion of the switcher experienced a momentary glitch. We obviously regret that it happened and are working on the equipment to ensure it is not repeated."
A rival network news director asks: "When has an 'X' ever aired on CNN before? Who had the graphic sitting in the key signal? Who generated the 'X'?"
The vice president himself is said to have brushed off the incident, a White House source said early Tuesday morning.

WHITE HOUSE PLAN IF SADDAM FOUND 'NOT GUILTY'
Senior Bush administration officials have considered the unthinkable: What if Saddam Hussein is found not guilty in his trial?
"There will be more charges filed against him, and more charges after that, if needed... he has committed tremendous crimes," a top Bush source explained last week from Washington.
Saddam and seven of his former henchmen currently face charges of crimes against humanity over a 1982 massacre of Shiite villagers.
A defiant Saddam has refused to recognize the court and has declared himself president of Iraq.
Prosecutors hope to win a conviction by using videotape of Saddam issuing assassination orders.
Meanwhile, Iraqi police say they have captured an Al-Qaeda cell plotting to kill the chief judge in charge of building the case.
The trial resumes Monday after a five-week recess.
