I posted that just after the show had finished - I quickly scanned the site, and could not get a transcript - and I am slightly dysnomic at the best of times. I figured that by the time I went to bed shortly after, and woke up this morning, someone else would post the name. At least, posting no name would stop someone claiming I had made it up...

People are highly critical of any alleged 'fact' posted here,and that's a good thing, usually.

And this morning,I worked out how this mistaken identity occurred - that damn phone book they were using to look up the people whose houses they were about to destroy...

And in the show there was an American complaining about the weapons being used to carpet bomb 10 blocks of civilian housing. 600 1000lb guided bombs were rushed thru to Israel by the US at the start of th war. o do that amount of visible damage - one guy told that his 1st floor bedroom looked mostly intact, replied that WAS on the 3rd floor!

To obtain the effect seen with precision guided bombs, you would need at least 1 or 2 for each multi-storey building taken out... no bloody targeting 'accident'!

And Amnesty International is now claiming that Israel deliberately targeted civilian areas. They say that a disproportionate excessive attack in a civilian area is a war crime.
