CNN's Coverage of Uganda

CNN’s reporting on the current situation in Uganda here
And from earlier here

In-depth reporting and insight it is not.

So CNN is repeating the government of Uganda's line that Besigye is part of the LRA without even a minimal attempt to find out if that claim could possibly have any merit. My feeling is that anybody with even a minimal understanding of the LRA and the conflict in northern Uganda would tend to assume the claim is false.

But I guess if there is a rebel group active in the country they MUST be involved, especially if the government says so. PRA, LRA, they are both rebels (is the PRA real?) so they must therefore have links and of course it is logical that Besigye is involved with both.
