> The knife looks like a little fish knife. Doesn't look so small to me, but I guess the person holding it was eating dinner right before stomping the soldier and just forgot he had it in his hand.

Doctoring pictures is a crime against their readers. Other papers didn't seem to have a problem with the undoctored photo. The Turkish papers even lauded it. > It also doesn't indicate that the knife was used, or whether it was picked > up from the deck, or whether they disarmed the soldier trying to stab them. You're right.

Yep. No disagreement there. Israel sucks when it comes to media presentation, especially media manipulation. They would be better at pure, raw truth but they're afraid of showing things due to 'security'. They have yet to come into the battleground of the new world. > Reuters should have shown the knife though, so that people can see that what > was onboard the ship were common knives and other implements and > nothing that was specially designed for combat. I saw the knives they collected. Some of them were not for cutting bread. I saw the bulletproof vests and night vision equipment. If these were peaceful activists, then I'd hate to see what Turkish soldiers are like. And I still have not seen clear evidence that any of the people involved in the combat were soldiers, mercenaries, experienced terrorists, or the like. But it still makes me wonder why each of them were carrying envelopes of so much cash. The story is far from over. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:320441 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
