There is a lot of skepticism in the blogosphere about this story, and whether or not satellite pictures can actually measure the speed of a car (see for example, Wizbang (http://wizbangblog.com/archives/005830.php) and Jawa Report (http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/078873.php). They also note that CBS cited unnamed Pentagon sources for this info. As yet, there is no independent corroboration. So, the LAT may have been correct to remove the mention of the alleged satellite results. (Gack!)

While I was searching the LAT for Sgrena stories, I found this example of moral equivalance from the Letters section of the LAT (the only letter online at the moment) which made me gack too:

Syria Turns Into Role Model for Occupiers

Re "A New Reality for Syria," editorial, April 27: Syria's withdrawal from Lebanon leaves Israel and the United States as the only occupying forces in the region.

Now if we can just get Israel to end its occupation of Palestinian lands and the Syrian Golan Heights, and get the Bush administration to set a timetable for bringing U.S. troops home from Iraq.

Who would have thought that Syria could serve as a role model?
