There are two critical points of information that, from my point of view, were reported once and then never reported again. Put this into your view of the situation:
-- Earlier, the UN decided that it did not want to be protected by US security because they felt it sent the wrong kind of message.
-- The imam bown up in Nas -- Naza -- that location where they massively car-bombed? Earlier, he had decided that he did not want to be protected by US security because he felt it sent the wrong kind of message.
The Imam's brother said at one point that it was the fault of the US. THAT fact was reported widely -- even though it clearly was NOT the fault of the US.
In fact, because the US felt that the UN was making a huge mistake, they rehearsed emergency extraction from that UN location... twice. As a result their quick response to the bombing was credited with saving many lives.
