Journamalism



Ah, we remember it well. The EFPs which COULD ONLY HAVE BEEN MADE IN
IRAN. Much like the anthrax which COULD HAVE ONLY BEEN MADE IN IRAQ

Front page NYT story, 2/20/07:

The most lethal weapon directed against American troops in Iraq is an
explosive-packed cylinder that United States intelligence asserts is
being supplied by Iran.


Except, you know, not.

Bleichwehl said troops, facing scattered resistance, discovered a
factory that produced "explosively formed penetrators" (EFPs), a
particularly deadly type of explosive that can destroy a main battle
tank and several weapons caches.


Burrrp burrp! Does not compute! Does not compute! Washington Post
version of the story, as captured by Google News "1 hour ago."



That paragraph is now missing from that WaPo version of the story.
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/07/AR20070\
40700397.html>  But you do have this:


The U.S. military said two U.S. soldiers died in separate roadside
bombings in the east and west of Baghdad on Friday.

One of the bombs was an explosively formed projectile, a particularly
deadly type of device which Washington accuses Iran of supplying Iraqi
militants.
