[Iwo Jima]

Do you recall where you heard that? I tend to think that this is a story that the media thinks is too good to let go, regardless of the facts. What I heard Friday on Fox news was that the doctors said "no evidence of gunshot wounds," to which I said "Don't you know???" Then several hours later some woman correspondent just casually said that Pfc Lynch had been shot without acknowleding the fact that the reports seem to be alternating between "shot"/"not shot" without even letting on that the other version exists.

I know that in the "fog of war" information is easily mangled, but for crying out loud, why can't we get this simple fact straight. I know that the truth of what happened is going to outrage us, but before I work up a real case of outrage, I want to know what I am getting outraged about.
