Fell For It

Loved the Sgt. Munley story, as the military knew we would. Hasan was dead, shot by a female cop wounded in the Ft. Hood massacre.
Apparently not. Not at all. Not ever.
What I don't get is why they think they can get away with this stuff, Pat Tillman and all. Oh, wait. Because they can.

To their credit, the NYT got it as close to right today as they could a week later, given that everyone has clammed up.

The confusion over what happened and the quickness of the military to label someone a hero seemed reminiscent of the case of Pfc. Jessica Lynch in 2003, when the Army initially reported that Private Lynch had been captured in Iraq after a Rambo-like performance in which she emptied her weapon and was wounded in battle. It was later learned she had been badly hurt in a vehicle accident during an ambush and was being well cared for by the Iraqis.
