This also took place during the media reporting on Katrina at the scene. Who can forget Mayor Nagin proclaiming thousands dead, the hundreds of rapes at the superdome, the raping of children, blah blah blah. All rumor and innuendo later to be proven baseless but yet gleefully trumpeted around the world to make George Bush and his administration look as inept as possible.
The media then worries about Mea Culpa's later, as is the case with this story. In their haste to report the story first, particularly when it is damaging to Israel or theUS's war on terror, the stories are always blown out of proportion. The initial death tolls were alarming with 56 dead, 60 dead, mostly women and children etc etc etc. Now it turns out the numbers were barely half that, and all the supposed facts gathered at the scene were spoon fed to them by terrorists on the staging scene more than happy to tell them and show them whatever they wanted to hear and see. It seems they even went to the great lengths of possibly parading weeks old corpses to the media as appeared to be the case with many of the infamous AP photos appearing on newspapers and websites worldwide taken up to 10 hours after the attack took place.
Arutz Sheva - Israel National News: "The world awoke Sunday to the news that an Israeli airstrike killed 57 Lebanese civilians, leading Israel to stop airstrikes for 2 days - but evidence indicates the 'massacre' may have been a fraud.
The supposed massacre caused a major turnabout in world diplomacy. US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice suddenly canceled her plans to fly to Beirut, saying 'my work towards a ceasefire is really here [in Jerusalem] today.' The implication was clearly that the onus was now upon Israel. French President Jacques Chirac condemned Israel's 'unjustified action which demonstrates more than ever the need for an immediate ceasefire,' Jordan's King Abdullah called it an 'ugly crime,' and other world leaders echoed these sentiments.
Though Israel emphasized that Hizbullah was to blame for waging its rocket war against Israel from within a civilian population, Foreign Ministry officials repeated their 'deep regret at the loss of innocent life in the campaign against Hizbullah,' and were forced to promise a 'thorough and comprehensive examination.'
However, the incident may have been all one big fraud, staged by Arab elements for the world media in order to lead precisely to the situation described above.
"The central piece of evidence leading to this conclusion is the fact, mentioned by IDF officials from the very beginning, that the building collapsed a full seven hours after the Israel Air Force bombing. Why, then, would the residents inside not have been evacuated in the meantime?
As Brig.-Gen. Amir Eshel of the Israeli Air Force told reporters Sunday night, “It is difficult for me to believe that they waited eight hours to evacuate it.” Without additional evidence, Eshel merely left open the possibility that Hizbullah terrorists, or explosives they left behind, caused the explosion. read more
