#2 Local hospital officials reported at least nine people killed in clashes in the same area, and said they believed the dead were civilians.

Let me guess -- males, between the ages of 15 and 35, were unarmed when they were brought in. Thus, civilians.

Residents and hospital officials said the victims appeared to be civilians.

Unarmed when they were buried, right?

Did the reporters even TRY to confirm the details, or have they decided that hearsay and rumor are just fine?

#3 have they decided that hearsay and rumor are just fine?

When the only thing you care about is dead Americans, rumors will do nicely.

#4 But Robert, it would be rude to question the veracity of the natives by actually checking their stories. Plus, it smacks of cultural imperialism, and goodness knows we mustn't have any smacking.

#7 Well they are muslims so they are by religious convention considered unarmed innocents when killed by the infidels. Personally I would go down to the hospital and grab this "Dr" and bring him back for a n "interview." This is the same crap they were/are pulling the "sunni triangle."
