The Jerusalem Post

...does an in-depth take on the Qana rumors.

...Israel Insider cited a CNN report that, it said, noted the victims had died in their sleep. It seemed highly improbable, the piece asserted, that people could have slept "through thunderous Israeli air attacks. Rescue workers equipped with cameras," it went on, "were removing the bodies from the same opening in the collapsed structure.

Journalists were not allowed near the collapsed building... Israelis steeled to scenes of carnage from Palestinian suicide bombings and Hizbullah rocket attacks could not help but notice that these victims did not look like our victims. Their faces were ashen gray. While medical examination is clearly called for to arrive at a definitive dating and cause of their deaths, they do not appear to have died hours before. The bodies looked like they had been dead for days."


When even CNN is questioning the veracity of the reports and pictures, there might just be a problem.

The Star-Ledger ran a front-page spot today where they reported that, as the IDF made their deepest incursions into Hezbollah territory, Hezbollah fired the fewest rockets into Israel since hostilities began.

In other stunning developments, more criminals in jail leads to less crime, water freezes in the cold, and the sun continues to rise in the East.
