Somebody has time on their hands. Rightwing bloggers are all abuzz about the horror of Qana being nothing more than an elaborately staged hoax.
Cause children never die when 'grown-ups' drop bombs.
One blogger points to the rescue worker pictured here and says ominously, "Who is this man?"
I dunno. Does he look like Michael Moore to you? Or maybe Dan Rather?
Duh.

Who is this man?
If he had been a genuine rescue worker, he would deserve a medal. Mr "Green Helmet" is everywhere at Qana, rushing around pulling children out of the rubble, carting them to ambulances and even, on the front page of the Guardian, escorting "White Tee-shirt", who also performs his own cameo role, carting round the body of another unfortunate girl, emoting freely while he does so.
What Really Happened in Qana?
Something's not right in Qana. It is looking more and more likely that the entire thing may have been a Hezbollah propaganda piece. Since it appears the Hezbos are running out of launchers and possibly rockets, they seem to be working overtime to expand their PR war against Israel, which explains how we have all these photos of those poor dead Lebanese children, obviously displayed for all the journalists to see and photograph.

Israeli Strike Hits
Confederate Yankee is skeptical of the "dead children" photos. He seems to believe that maybe corpses from local morgues have been shipped into to the Qana strike-site as propaganda. I don't know. The evidence seems sketchy. But it's not like I can vouch for the impeccable reputation of Hizbollah. . . But if the first report of the building's collapse did indeed come eight hours after the strike... Well, it does seem implausible that anyone would wait that long to evacuate a bombed building.
