From CNN:
Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora said Monday that one person was killed in an Israeli airstrike on the southern village of Houla, not 40 as he had earlier reported.
“The massacre in Houla, it turned out that there was one person killed,” Siniora said. “They thought that the whole building smashed on the heads of about 40 people. ... Thank God they have been saved.”
Siniora had earlier told Arab foreign ministers in Beirut that the attack “was a horrific massacre … in which more than 40 martyrs were victims of deliberate bombing.”
Siniora said he had based the initial tally on unspecified information that he had received. He offered no other explanation for the error.
A revision from 40 to, say, 30 would be understandable. But from 40 to 1? Kinda’ makes you wonder who the original source was. Was his intent to get the Arab foreign ministers all riled up?
so is this officially jewish stormfront.org now? the evil muslim media lying about the actual size of the holocaust?
[...] As Marc Schulman notes, a change from 40 to say 30 would be understandable, and a pleasant bit of news too I might add, but 40 to 1? This rather drastic change “kinda’ makes you wonder who the original source was.” Indeed it does, but we know too well who has controlled the media within Lebanon and the controller of the media, Hezbollah, knows that one death isn’t exactly front-page news. An event of forty deaths is. [...]
Oh? The Holocaust is going on? Somehow I missed nearly 599,100 people dying.
