I was wondering if its okay legally to use a sample recorded by the CNN during the American attack on Iraq in a song. I'm only using the sound from the explotions that the cameras captured nothing else. This is a link to the video which I want to use the sound from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Qq3L6EY3zg

If not, does anyone know how to get permission to use it?

If all you're after is some 'splosion noises, check on freesound.org. I'm sure there's plenty there.

my guess is that if it's been on youtube since 2008 with impunity then you are probably ok

I'd love them to prove that you actually got that esprosion sound from that particular video to be honest.
