Today's paper reported that CNN's phone in Baghdad (Marisat, I think)
was being used by the Iraqi government to approve journalist visas.
Apparently the Iraqi government asked to use the phone for other
putposes as well, but CNN said no.

(That was somewhere in today's {Austin American Statesman}; I imagine
they got the news from UPI or AP, or perhaps from watching CNN.)
