Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

OT- "Update on Helicopter Attack- NO Wedding Party ..."

um, please note that it doesn't say this. there is, in fact, no real contradiction between the u.s. and iraqi reports on the event. u.s. claims that we hit a safe house. iraqi's claim we hit a wedding. clearly we were targeting what we labelled a military target in a civilian neighborhood. photos of dead children corroborate that we hit civilian targets; but that would have to be expected anyway. weapons were found. (although there are weapons all over iraq anyway ...)

anyway, i don't see anything contradictory. the military/gov't have consistently tried to minimize the civilian death toll.
