I read the papers.
I also know that news sources have their own problems with accuracy. As if Tailwind, Jenin, and Katrina hadn't made that point already.
The media is especially vulnerable to stories that match their agendas, and with the military, they see only two archetypes: The baby killer, or the poor, stupid slob duped into military service by The Man.
BTW, if you think it's a coincidence that "film" of the March Ishaqi incident suddenly turned up at the BBC at the same time as this latest incident, "from a hardline Sunni group opposed to coalition forces," you're even more gullible than I think you are.
