LA Times Deceives

The LA Times runs a story by Reuters, which you can read here, ending their piece with:

A team of 18 forensic scientists will begin an examination of the Toyota Corolla in which the Italians were traveling.

Now the whole article released by Reuters, which you can read here, continues with the following conveniently left out by the LA Times article.

A U.S. Army official earlier this week said Italy was disputing two factual issues in the report: the car's speed as it approached the checkpoint and the nature of communications between the Italians and U.S. forces before the incident.

The army official said one of the "trip wires" in the incident was that "there was, in fact, poor communications between the Italians and the Americans."

Italy's government has said the Italians had been driving slowly, received no warning and had advised U.S. authorities of their mission to evacuate Sgrena from Iraq.

CBS news has reported that a U.S. satellite had filmed the shooting and that it had been established the car carrying Calipari was traveling at more than 60 miles per hour as it approached the U.S. checkpoint in Baghdad.

The Italians say they are unaware of any recording of the incident.

Why would the LA Times leave this portion out? The speed of the vehicle is one of the major disagreements and this after all sourced to CBS News of all things (you think they think it a conservative news network)... No, they had their motives or I guess it could be simply lazy reporting -- but either way it is proof you never trust one source and especially the LA Times.
