What has the pentagon said in this war that was true?
Captain Philip Wolford, the man in command of the tank division responsible for the deaths of two journalists in the Palestine Hotel, says he had no idea that the hotel was housing journalists nor was he told to avoid the building as a target. He told the French publication Le Nouvel Observateur, "I cannot for a moment imagine that information sent by the divisional headquarters would not have got to me."

I have spoken to several soldiers who get daily briefings. All of them are under the impression that we as an army have taken every precaution to avoid unecessary death.
Even their interoffice memmo's appear to be lies however, since the whole world knew the Palestine was full of journalists, and the U.S. had offered protection just a day before to the hotel.
