If you can't conceive of it, its more a fault in your conception. Pray tell, what branch of the US government or Israeli government is investigating these murders? No murders to investigate, although collateral damage like that is always subject to a lot of review and after action assessment by the military itself (in this case the IDF), and in such a high profile case, its probably looked at by the civilian government.

The "narrative" Israel is trying to sell the American public is that the Jewish state is once again being targeted by "terrorists" – yet the pictures coming out of Lebanon show us who the real terrorists are, no matter how hard CAMERA and its allies, including AIPAC, work to "spin" the story in a more favorable direction. Their only alternative is to go into denial mode and claim that the photos are "staged" – a macabre tactic that mocks both the living and the dead. In the case of Ricks' reporting, they can only harass his editor until he issues a one-sentence "rebuke" – in an exercise of power that the Lobby always denies having. Because, you understand, to even write about how they engineered this "rebuke" is, in itself, a "blood libel." Watch Tim dance around the murder issue.
