Time for skepticism. Part of the war on terrorism is
an information war. What little credence one might
have summoned up, prior to 9/1, for any particular
media factoid has IMO dried up.

Why would something like the above appear in print if
it were true?

Better phrasing of the same question: What purpose
does the above factoid serve for the "side" which
controls this particular media outlet, and authorized
the factoid's publication?

Best, Jeff Davis
