CNN had been roundly criticized for appearances by 13 CNN on-air personnel in the movie "Contact" delivering fictional news reports about a message from an alien civilization.

Now, it seems even McVeigh has turned on his lawyer: Legal sources tell CNN that McVeigh is considering using "quality of attorneys" as one avenue for his appeal, despite the fact that his defense cost taxpayers $10 million. If that doesn?t float, other issues under consideration as grounds for appeal include Judge Richard Matsch's ban on the defense theory that foreign terrorists were at the heart...
