There was one survivor, Safa Younis Salim, 13, who in an interview said she lived by faking her death. "I pretended that I was dead when my brother's body fell on me and he was bleeding like a faucet," she said.

Only 13-year-old Safa Younis lived -- saved, she said, by her mother's blood spilling onto her, making her look dead when she fell, limp, in a faint.

Discrepancies:

Did this child "pretend" to be dead as she stated in one story or did this child "faint" as she stated in another interview?

Was it her mother's blood that saved her? Or her brother's?

Good catch. Once again, Freepers are doing the job that the MSM should be doing - probing for the facts, not just accepting at face value every anti-American word that comes from the mouth of a pro-Saddam Iraqi.

Yet another great find. We need to keep chipping away.
