IRAQ: UPRISING

Toronto Star: Fog of war shrouds deadly truth
Roadside bombing in Baghdad kills one American soldier
Iraqis claim four children killed by retaliatory U.S. bullets

Iraqi witnesses said that not one child but four, possibly five, were killed. The U.S. military had no count. But according to the military, gunmen fired on the U.S. soldiers from rooftops, provoking return fire. No Iraqi witness mentioned that.

Several Iraqis there did say the children were incited to jump around the burning Humvee by a cameraman for Al Arabiya, an Arab news channel, which U.S. officials say is guilty of stoking a much broader anti-Americanism among viewers around the Arab world. The station denies its cameraman did anything but film.
