		<description>&lt;p&gt;There are many contradictions and sloppy statements in the Haaretz article that Rick Moran references.  I wrote to the three reporters to request clarifications on the following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. &lt;i&gt; \&quot;...the military had no information on rockets launched from the site of the building, or the presence of Hezbollah men at the time.\&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Does that mean there WERE NONE, or that they just didn\&#039;t have th info to give to you?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2.  &lt;i&gt;\&quot;However, it changed its version on Monday.\&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How so?  No one disputes that over 150 rockets have been laucnhed from Qana in the preceding 20 days.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3.  &lt;i&gt;\&quot;However, there were no rocket launches from Qana on the day of the strike.\&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The strike occured between midnight and 1:00 a.m.  Are you trying to say that there were no rocket launches from Qana on the &lt;i&gt;previous&lt;/i&gt; day, or as you wrote, the actual \&quot;day of the strike\&quot; - ie:  &lt;b&gt;after midnight&lt;/b&gt;?  It is quite possible that there were no rocket launches between midnight and the time of the Israeli strike - a matter of minutes.  So, technically, your statement is correct, but disingenuous.  Either you are being deliberately misleading, or none of you are very precise and accurate writers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4.  Your report is contradictory.  First you say &lt;i&gt;\&quot;The survivors say rescue teams arrived only in the morning, as night conditions made the rescue mission difficult.\&quot;&lt;/i&gt;  But then you say &lt;i&gt;\&quot;...the electricity and phones in the village of Qana were almost entirely cut-off by IAF attacks.\&quot; &lt;/i&gt;  Is that so?  Apparently NOT, since they were able to make the call anyways.  So which is it?  Did the rescue teams get a call at night, but they couldn\&#039;t make it because of the dark, or did they not get the call until the morning???  You can\&#039;t have it both ways.  In either case, you are wrong, the phones were working.  It only matters when the calls were made. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5.  &lt;i&gt; \&quot;The IDF provided no explanation for the second explosion...\&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What second explosion?  Either the building collapsed at midnight due to an IAF strike, and the rescue teams couldn\&#039;t make it because it was tragically so dark; OR, the building collapsed in the morning, having nothing to do with the IAF strike. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;6. &lt;i&gt;  \&quot;The IAF admits the village was struck three times between Saturday night and Sunday morning.\&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I take issue with your loaded use of the negative word \&quot;admits\&quot;.  A more accurate word would have been \&quot;confirms\&quot;. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I find this particular article to be a sloppy bit of reporting.  One would hope that between the three of you, you could apply a little more logic.  You\&#039;re not asking the right questions, you\&#039;re citing questionable and unnamed sources, and your semantics seem deliberately chosen to paint a highly negative picture of the IDF and IAF.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By the way, did you know that the anti-Israeli left is now using this exact article as their \&quot;proof\&quot; of evil Israeli intent and a cover-up?  Not well played, Yoav, Yuval, and Amos - not well played, at all.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>
