Friday Follow-Up

The Lebanese militant group Hezbollah is accusing CNN of intellectual terrorism for firing a senior editor, Octavia Nasr.

Nasr posted a message on her Twitter account mourning the death of a Shiite cleric, classified as a terrorist by the U.S. Nasr later acknowledged an error in judgment in the Tweet which read: "Sad to hear of the passing of Sayyed Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah -- one of Hezbollah's giants I respect a lot."

Hezbollah says the network's decision reflects the West's double standards in dealing with the Mideast. CNN officials say Nasr's credibility had been compromised.
