Roger O'K, when the "freedom fighters" crashed their "borrowed" planes into the World Trade Center, the estimate of the dead ran as high as 15,000 or more. As more became known, the numbers were revised downward.
But you intimate that the IDF Radio published correct figures in the middle of a battle and then revised the numbers downward when " they realised they had been overheard and then "corrected" the statement."
And just how did the reporters (with "jewish-sounding names") obtain their evidence if the IDF has been keeping all news media out of the area? Does the Guardian have clairvoyants on its staff?
Carol, Websters defines "cynical" as "contemptously distrustful of human nature and motives" and a "cynic" as "a faultfinding, captious critic; a misanthrope; specif., one who believes that human conduct is motivated wholly by self-interest."
I'm not sure what definition Doug uses, but I'll stand by Webster.
