Power Line: Reuters Alleges Israeli Air Strike

Power Line: Reuters Alleges Israeli Air Strike Two Arab members of Reuter's staff were caught up in an incident in the Gaza strip yesterday. There is no doubt that the two men were injured as they were stepping out of the vehicle. The question is not whether the vehicle was hit by something, but it is about whether or not the vehicle was hit by an IDF missile. The bloggers have already begun to suspect that the vehicle was not hit by a missile. Here in Australia it was reported that the vehicle was hit by shrapnel. Since the Reuters photogs were in a "war zone", this is a situation of reporters beware. They are responsible for their own safety. The photograph of the vehicle indicates that it was not hit by a missile. A hole was punched in the roof from what appears to be shrapnel from the firing of a weapon. It could have been the remains of a rocket fired by Hamas at the Israeli soldiers that caused the damage. There is a real need for "TRUTH IN REPORTING" to be established in the western media.
