Well, the UN envoy was just on CNN, I didn't catch his name, and here are the facts about what he said. Since this will be spun every which way...

He said it was horrifying, a disaster. He talked about mostly the smell of the bodies. He talked about seeing a 12-year-old boy dead in the rubble. Talked about family members trying to remove bodies. Said the town looked in places like it had been hit by an earthquake.

Asked directly whether he could determine whether it was, as the Palestines say, a masscre of innocents -- or, as the Israelis say, massive firefights in door-to-door conflict -- he said that he <i>could not determine that</i>. He asked for a further investigation to determine the truth of the matter.

So we STILL don't know what is closer to the truth.
