Made it to the end - skimmed a lot of posts, but did not see this story by and about Netanyahu referred to. It was something he said in his Knesset speach, only a small detail, but worthy at leas of a post I think:

Netanyahu said, "I was interviewed yesterday by a British station"....

(Now before I go on, imagine the typical snotty nosed, mid 20 to 30 something, reporter, sporting an upper class English accent, with a full grasp of contemporary history all the way back to the last World Cup.....Got the picture? )

"and they asked me what I thought about Israeli pilots bombing children."

(Now you get the picture, don't you? )

"I said, 'If you’re asking, I'll tell you: This is as just a war as any that has ever been fought - but I can recall another just war, World War II, when Britain's Royal Air Force went to bomb the Gestapo headquarters in Copenhagen, but the bombers missed and hit a children's hospital nearby, killing 83 Danish children inside."

"This is a tragedy of war, but it happens. Unlike the other side, which rejoices when our children are killed, we are truly sorry when it happens, and we really and truly try to reduce casualties on the other side."

(I wish I had seen the face of that reporter .....)

(The second link goes to a site that advocates policies I certainly do not agree with. However the story of the Shell house bombing is well told.)

Thank you for the report. I am continuing my Shepherd Smith boycott and am watching the Weather Channel.

I love that guy..."yes...we are going much farther than the 1.5 miles that was mentioned."

A lot different that what Condi was saying...but, that is too bad.

I have seen bits of articles today that make me suspicious about WHO Condi is really listening to.

Now what would they do if they needed to cover a major hurricane and a war at the same time? Where would he go?

moved and rephotographed for hours.

About two hours, I think. They had to get them back to the morgue before closing time.

While the photo data is useful in one sense (photos taken by the same photographer), it's not useful in another (photos taken by different photographers) because nobody knows how a given photographer had the clock in his camera set.

Still, there's a lot to be learned from those photos, and very little of it goes toward proving the authenticity of the incident portrayed.

Not confirmed by any of my sources yet...might have confused a mortar attack with rockets?
