The Unreliable News of the MSM

On November 13, the Los Angeles Times reported the U.S. military had carried out an air strike at Ramadi that "killed at least 30 people, including women and children."  Blogger Patterico later saw an email from an officer who was at Ramadi who claimed the Times's account was incorrect: there had been no air strike and those killed were insurgents caught placing IEDs or trying to steal munitions.  Patterico began to investigate what really happened at Ramadi, and you can read his results here.  As John Hinderacker noted: "Patterico's findings are significant, I think, to all of us who try to make sense of the news coming out of Iraq."
