I was thinking about another thing the BBC Bureau Chief said, that he wasn't a expert on weapons and explosives; I immediately thought, then why the #### didn't he contact a few then? If he had been an expert, or even somebody with a few brain cells, he might have heard about air-burst munitions. These have been supplied to Israel by the United States. These things are designed to explode in the air above a target, sending a crushing, massive shock wave downwards almost like a giant hammer from above. The carpark was evedently packed with refugees, mostly women and children, who imagined they were safe their right next to a hospital building, surely even th Israilis wouldn't attack a hospital? How tragically wrong they were. Christ, I'm glad I never got that job at the BBC, I thought about. The interviewer Lise Ducette, actually talked about the BBC people being 'a tribe' inside Israel. I wonder if she meant it was one of the lost ones?
