Los Angeles Times Distorts IAEA Report
[CAMERA] Tamar Sternthal - In a news article about the origins of uranium particles found at the Syrian site bombed by Israel in September 2007, Borzou Daragahi of the Los Angeles Times severely distorts the report issued by the International Atomic Energy Agency. The article states: "'The only explanation for the presence of these modified uranium particles is that they were contained in the missiles dropped from the Israeli planes,' the [IAEA] report said." Yet the IAEA report did not make this statement. Rather, as a matter of record, the IAEA report quotes word for word a Syrian letter which included this statement. But nowhere does the IAEA report confirm the Syrian claim.
