Just heard on CNN that the original report was incorrect and the military confirmed it was a controlled explosion that was bigger than expected. CNN also admitted that they independently confirmed the report from other media sources.

How nice of them to admit it a day later, when no one will notice. Right now, all eyes and ears are on the stock markets.

They're supposed to do an Iraq update and explain how the event was originally misreported.

I believe it was distributed by the AP without verification... straight from an Iraqi 'news' source.

When my husband was in Afghanistan, the news erroneously reported that their plane went down. I haven't believed a word they have said since.
To: johnny7
More proof there is never any real independent verification, it's just words circulating throughout the media rumor mill.

I'm sure the media still has their crackpot investigation teams looking for that missing plane. Thank your husband for his service for me please. God Bless you and your family.

We only catch the small ones dude... the vast amount of daily, unchallenged misinformation still gets embedded into the psyche of the sheeple.

It's funny because the media also verified it through "Iraqi Police Sources".

CNN is now claiming that they also confirmed the incident from the Iraqi Interior Ministry before it got debunked. The Interior Ministry has been one of the main offices of disinformation in the past along with the Health Ministry.
