Re: Ibram's news story
Eeeep! IF it is true. Could be, but I'm gonna wait for more reports. The whole story is based on citing "local (Turkish) papers" - which puts a fair bit of time delay between the bombing and the posting on the Russian source ... so why not a peep from other news sources, especially considering that there are plenty of reporters in Iraq?
It is possible that this is a false story. The Turkish public want to strike at the PKK, some are marching in the streets for it. This could be either crap journalism, or a Wag-the-Dog phony war ... or the real thing. I'm waiting a while yet.
