This reminds me of an interview I saw once. A reporter had film of the IDF shooting an 89 year old woman, killing her. He went to an IDF officer for comments, and explained that he had film there of an 89 year old woman walking into a hospital for treatment, and being shot right outside the front door by IDF personnel. The Israeli officer refused to view the tape, and simply said "It never happened. We don't shoot civilians."

It reminds me of further slanted reuters headlines and the not so far in the past incident of an israeli shooting a palestinian that ended up being a palestinian shot by a palestinian "militant". I'll hold judgement until all the facts are in, thanx.
