Take note how these two articles on the bombing of the supposed wedding party differ. The Knight-Ridder story gives the US military reports of fake ID machines, medical facilities, bombing-making equipment, terrorist manuals, and firearms, all used for the purpose of slipping foreign fighters unnoticed into Iraq. To the question of why they were having a party, the American general answered smartly, "Bad people have parties too," that despite the fact that Army found little evidence of a big party.

Then a video is released, showing party-goers first, then some of the party-goers dead after the strike. So what? The BBC reports on the video but mentions nothing of the above evidence and captured materials. Their only assertion is that the video "clouds US denials." Apparently the fact there was a party is more important than the fact that the so-called party-goers were likely responsible for untold numbers of Iraqi and Coalition dead, to say nothing of the deaths these men could have caused.
