This is just plain disturbing, from every angle. Some eyewitness reports talked about the continous bombing that is contradictory to the timing of the Israeli reports.
Someone doesn't have their facts straight. And really there's not a whole lot to be determined in any of this yet. Either way, there's a lot of dead women and children and either Hezbollah brought it on these civilians or they had a direct hand in it.
The next step in this parade, which has been coming for many years, is that only the bad guys can wage war.
Good luck with that: dead bodies are, as always, a feeding frenzy for the media.
Journalists -- CNN comes to mind -- have documented the fact that Hezbollah controls media access to these scenes of civilian casualties, and doesn't allow cameras on the scene until they have set the stage (cleared the ordnance, etc.) for maximum media impact.
Storing dead bodies, whether used in this case or not, isn't a new trick either. It's been reported that Saddam would store the dead bodies of children in advance of planned demonstrations showcasing the alleged affects of the boycott -- marching the bodies of dead children through the streets.
When the west comes to the realization that the pictures of these dead -- so shocking and heartbreaking to civilized sensibilities -- mean absolutely nothing to those whose sensibilities have been distorted and deadened from childhood by brutal child-rearing practices and violent ideology, we may then be able to summon the courage to resist the manipulation and defeat the ruthless.
And I am sure Mr. syriana, George Clooney is applauding.
Their limbs appeared to have stiffened, from rigor mortis. Neither were effects that would have resulted from an Israeli attack hours before. These were bodies that looked like they had been dead for days...

Thanks for posting this article. Curiouser and curiouser said Alice...
Even if honest persons were to investigate, you can dismiss the notion that the MSM will do any real reporting on the matter.
One of the things I noticed was the lack of blood. In building collapses there is LOTS of blood and bruises.

Vital Perspective also notes Article 28 of the 4th Geneva Convention:
The presence of a protected person may not be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations.
So the civilian casualties are, under the Geneva Convention, Hezbollah's responsibility.

Little Green Footballs ( www.littlegreenfootballs.com ) is all over this. Also Powerline blog has an interesting poster of Condi shown just a few hours after the building collapse that is waaaaay too professional to have been made that quick.
That was a Reuters photo, BTW.
Given the history of terrorists and their manipulation of the media, this version of the building collapse has a ring of truth to it - and it worked!! The IDF has stopped air attacks for 48 hours!! Will they get those 48 hours worth of air raids back when it is conclusively proven that the Qana building collapse was faked?
Not likeley, but the terrorists will have given themselves a 48 hour edge to re-stock their munitions supplies.
I wondered that also. Like the photos of the "chemical attack", the bodies look like they have been dead for awhile, and the live "victims" do not appear hurt.
