Remembering the pictures of the Cana victims with their arms contorted up in the air suggests to me people who died trying to claw their way out of the rubble. The contorted arm was in a deformed pose with an extremely flexed wrist, seen commonly on children with cereberal palsy. That picture has led to speculation that the building was stuffed with handicapped children. I'm sure you'll be glad to here that the IDF and the Red Cross intend to investigate further: The IDF is looking into allegations raised over the past few days by several pro-Israel, Jewish and conservative Weblogs that Hizbullah may have staged aspects of the Kana tragedy on Sunday, in which some 60 Lebanese bodies were removed from a building that collapsed seven hours after being hit in an Israel Air Force strike. The dead were mainly children, women and elderly people. The International Committee of the Red Cross Mission in Israel said Tuesday that it would inform its Swiss headquarters about the allegations and seek to clarify the questions raised. jpost.com As for it being a waste of time, I don't think so. When evaluating the pronouncements of both sides during the fog of war, the extent to which each side is ready to lie and stage events for propaganda is an important factor in evaluating their pronouncements, so any time you can get clear evidence on the subject, it is worthwhile.
