That could very well be true, LP. I haven't read anything accordingly, but that doesn't mean that you are mistaken at all! I'll keep my eyes open for more information on that.
Another thing: Why hasn't anyone told that sorry tank-commander (and he's an officer!) that there are only press and reporters in the Hotel Palastine? There's only a couple of really tall buildings in Bagdad, whereas the hotel is the 2nd tallest one.
What that PR-general Vincent Brooks told the world in that press-conference today is such a lie! 1) There was no fire directed at that particular tank from the hotel's lobby. 2) The lobby is facing in a completely different direction and the firing tank couldn't even be seen from the lobby. 3) If the fire comes from the bottom flor, why in the world would you shoot the 15th floor?
I am really deeply concerned about the way this war is developing. Talk about trigger-happy...
