I can play it on my Sid system (iceweasel 3.6.7 form experimental,
flashplayer-mozilla 1:10.1.53.64-0.0, flashblock 1.5.13, noscript 2.0)

I did that, too, and then I clicked on the flashblock placeholder icon
for the video; it loaded and played normally.
Note that I have my user agent string set to "Firefox/3.6.7"; I have
found that some websites send you IE-specific, broken HTML if the user
agent is, for example, "Iceweasel" instead of "Firefox". (I did not test
if this is the case for CNN, though.)
