Bob Simon from 60-minutes was on Larry King two weeks ago suggesting the same thing. Back from covering the war, he said he sat in "stunned silence" while watching the US coverage here at home thinking it was like watching a different war. For instance, it now appears that the rescue effort of Private Jessica was at least partially staged just like the collapse of the Saddam Hussein statue.

"Doctors at al-Nasiriyah general hospital said that the airborne assault had met no resistance and was carried out a day after all the Iraqi forces and Baath leadership had fled the city."
