Syria gas 'kills hundreds,'((Warning, Graphic)))

[Warpy]

13. In any kind of war, you need to suspect that

"The first casualty of war is truth"--several politicians, all paraphrasing Aeschylus. Many war stories that outrage people are later proven false, like the "babies taken out of incubators and thrown on the floor" story out of the invasion of Kuwait.

It was hard to tell people that was baloney, too, since "incubators" had not been used since the 50s, it was Isolettes. However, it was pure baloney.

A skeptical eye is absolutely necessary.

I will say this one looks legitimate, people flushing the whole scene with water, foam at the corner of a child's mouth. I do wonder what sort of agent would knock people out instead of killing them outright.

However, I wonder why they're all on their backs. People rendered unconscious through drug or gun generally crumple forward.
