...imagine that.

From Breitbart.com:

BEIRUT, Lebanon: The Lebanese prime minister says only one person died in an Israeli air raid on the southern village of Houla, lowering the death toll from 40.

(Emphasis mine)

.....................................................

Reuters says this:

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora said on Monday that one person had been killed in an Israeli air strike on the southern border village of Houla, rather than 40 as earlier feared.

A resident said about 50 people had been found alive under the rubble.

"The massacre in Houla, it turned out that there was one person killed," Siniora told reporters. "They thought that the whole building smashed on the heads of about 40 people ... thank God they have been saved."

So, Reuters is really getting ahead of themselves in this war, aren't they? Report now, explain later...

Orwell pops into mind again, from the beginning of 1984;

"He who controls the past, controls the future; and he who controls

the present, controls the past."

I wonder if Reuters will release the photos of the families joy when they found the poeple alive?
