Jack Cafferty prepares for an appearance on CNN's "The Situation Room," Wednesday, June 21, 2006, at CNN's New York headquarters. China on Thursday April 17, 2008 snubbed an apology from CNN over remarks by one Cafferty as a wave of verbal assaults on foreign media raised concerns over coverage at this summer's Beijing Olympics. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu rejected CNN's explanation that commentator Jack Cafferty was referring to China's leaders _ not the Chinese people _ when he described them as "goons and thugs." CNN said it apologized to anyone who thought otherwise. (AP Photo/Kathy Willens, FILE)
