And why is that?
"Only one paper in the "mainstream" gulllible enough to print this drivel. I was sure there would be at least half a dozen who would slurp this up and regurgitate it as gospel."
I'm curious about that argument : Why do you think so few "mainstream" newspapers (your quotation marks) have picked up on the BBC story?
1. The BBC is an unreliable source of information. (At least, less reliable than venerable sources of information such as FoxNews, etc.)
2. The British, in general, have an anti-American bias, as was shown in the Iraqi War.
3. The American media isn't too keen on picking up stories that throw a bad light on the Iraqi operation.
4. The American media would love to pick up on such stories, but the American public just isn't interested. (There's no way anything could throw "Matrix 2" off the Newsweek cover!)
5. British weather sucks.
