This reminds me...I read a news analysis fairly recently, past month or so, that went back to all the reports of that stuff happening in New Orleans, and almost none of the reports, from helicopters being fired upon to rape in the Superdome, could be verified at all. None of the claims that the mayor made could be backed up, almost none of the "on the spot" news reports were very accurate, and if I recall correctly, the scope of the human calamity was generally determined to be overstated. It wasn't a cakewalk by any means, but there were a lot of rumors that took on lives then.




Sure. There are people, whole nations in fact that said that America just "made up the Holocaust" (The Iranian president comes to mind) and that there were no Jews killed.

Maybe that is exactly what happened there too right?
Trust me that there are pilots here on Ft. Rucker that flew humanitarian missions for these people that came back with firsthand reports. Take that for what you will. I shouldn't have brought that up, but that is a topic for another day.
