THE MURDER OF LINDA NORGROVE
"British aid worker murdered ( http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2010/10/10/british-aid-worker-murdered-by-taliban-during-rescue-operation-115875-22622241/) by Taliban during rescue operation" I knew this story was bullshit when I first read it. Initial debriefings of the 'crack US troops' involved somehow missed the little incident of throwing a grenade into the area where they thought Norgrove was being held. The story ( http://www.edmontonjournal.com/travel/Captors+killed+Linda+Norgrove+with+suicide+vest+source/3652075/story.html) of how the evil Taliban killed her with a suicide vest started to sprout more and more details with the retelling. Suddenly, somebody looked at a tape of the incident (the fact it is a NATO operation probably meant the Americans couldn't hide the tape from the British), saw the grenade being thrown, and the world turned upside down.
