CNN Celebrates Eight Years Of ‘The Situation Room’

By Alex Weprin 

This week marked eight years on CNN for “The Situation Room,” the afternoon program anchored by Wolf Blitzer. While the program will be getting a bit of a shakeup schedule-wise when “Crossfire” debuts in the Fall, it has remained a stalwart in CNN’s lineup, even as its schedule has been in flux.

In honor of the anniversary, here is a clip from the very first edition on the program, August 8, 2005.
