<You said the Independent article was only for subscribers. That was wrong. >

Oh? Here's the URL from Thomas's post #70250

news.independent.co.uk

Score....1 wrong for you, 1 right for me.

<You argued for numerous posts that the Independent said the killing of the journalist took place during the day. That was wrong.>

I never said the "Independent said the killing of the journalist took place during the day." I said they inferred that it happened during the day by not mentioning that it took place at night. Check the segment in the above URL and show me were it says it happened at night.

Score.....2 wrong for you, 2 right for me

< You point to "total silence" as "TOTAL fabrication", because of some bulldozer noise you heard, completely ignoring the glaring fact that the article is talking about the alleged "heavy gunfire". That was wrong. And, uh, bizarre...>

"Total silence"? When there is a bulldozer roaring in the background? How very BIZARRE of you to believe this, considering that you didn't even hear the videotape.

Have you ever been near a working bulldozer in your life and experienced just how noisy they are? Its hard to simply dismiss it as "some bulldozer noise" and very presumptuous.

And who are you to know EXACTLY what the reporter meant by "Total Silence"? If they wanted to be accurate they would have described it as "Against the background of a roaring bulldozer, no gunfire could be heard". And what kind of a reporter would describe such a situation as "Total silence"?

Your statement that "the glaring fact that the article is talking about the alleged "heavy gunfire" is, again, presumptuous, and arrogant, and probably wrong

Score.....3 wrong for you, 3 right for me.

< Well, at least I am not blind to fact because of some religious affiliation with one side of the conflict and in dire need to make them the good guys in every incident.>

I have no religious affiliation and I consider myself an agnostic.

Score......4 wrong for you, 4 right for me.

<Sorry>

Sorry? I don't think you could find a person on this thread that felt you were truly sorry.

Score....5 wrong for you, 4 right for me.
