Apparently it was just like Jenin, except it took a lot longer to debunk, and the media played along, as usual.
In the case of Haditha, the terrorists’ media strategy worked and caused a lot of problems. An anti-war congressman claimed that a cover-up of cold-blooded murder by the Marines occurred. There was a controversy that has gone on for a number of months. And al Qaeda will come away with articles about massacres that never happened. It is a partial media victory for the terrorists

An interesting comment (number fourteen) by “anonymous” over at Space Politics:
The other interesting rumor from that same post is:
It’s a little long, but that’s my bumper sticker slogan. I think it’s refreshing to have a candidate so open about his bribe policy.
I want to jump on the Burge bandwagon, while the slot for Space Czar remains open. Normally, the Vice President is in charge of that kind of thing, but Goldstein doesn’t know anything about it.

Charles Murray thinks so. I don’t have a strong opinion on it–I never took it.
…that Nobel-winning terrorist and murderer Yasser Afafat died of AIDS.
It didn’t happen soon enough.
[Update a few minutes later]
Mark Steyn has further thoughts.
[Tuesday update]
I guess I wasn’t clear enough (or at all) as to the point of this post. It’s not news that Arafat died of AIDS. What’s news is that “Palestinians” are admitting it. I suspect that this is all of a piece with the civil war between Hamas and Fatah, it being an attempt by the former to discredit the latter.
that just came out today, describing the war between the CIA, and the Pentagon and White House. I wonder if it will talk about their ally, the State Department?
