| You are merely reiterating misrepresentations already made. In the LA Times piece, for example, you had to go a couple of paragraphs down from where they said that there was a dispute about which substance it was, and that if it was the potassium cyanide, it was highly toxic in water, to then learn that there was an alternative, tentative identification of it as potassium ferrocyanide, which is not nearly as toxic. However, by the end, the article had noted that even the less toxic material was lethal as a gas produced after interaction with acid. Thus, to flatly say that it was potassium ferrocyanide was wrong, and even if it were, to flatly say that it was non- lethal was wrong. Additionally, any confusion that existed emanated from the police, so to imply that the press was merely being alarmist was wrong. Finally, it was the Italian press in general reporting on the lethality, not a particular publication, so there was no basis for your speculation. On all counts, then, you were willfully twisting your own sources...... |
