The first rule of war watching…

…is that all the participants are lying.

The second rule is somebody knows the truth.  (It's not me. Maybe it's you, but I doubt it.)

This story from this morning's NYPost: 

Gaza journalist who wrote for Al Jazeera was holding 3 hostages in home with family, Israel says


The journalist in question, now deceased, was also a Hamas official.

The story has been widely reported in Western media. Al Jazeera, not surprisingly, denies it. But their web site says otherwise.

The best the rest of us can hope for is that whoever knows the truth of this situation is somebody we can trust.
