That White Phosphorus story

Some updates from The Daily Ablution.

First, a reporter for The Independent has sent a juvenile attack email to the blogger at The Daily Ablution:

Thanks for your email. It's nice to hear from you. After your absence following the trip to Wyoming I feared maybe you were going to hole up with your guns, a crate of Budweiser and a copy of the 2nd Amendment and form some sort of militia in the woods with your right-wing buddies.

Second, the BBC now considers the initial RAI (Italian State TV) report to be inaccurate:

The Rai report may have at its heart an important truth, but it is factually inaccurate and misleading."

Though they qualify their comment with "may have an important truth".
