We all know about the funny “these weapons of mass destruction cannot be displayed” fake error page

We all know about the funny “these weapons of mass destruction cannot be displayed” fake error page. My

apologies if this daring placement of that ad is already known to some. Who knows? Maybe it’s been there the

whole time. However, I have just received this formbt sportded today so perhaps it is new. In any case, it’s

quite clever.
Here’s what you do:
Go to Google. Type in “weapons of mass destruction” but DON’T hit return. instead, hit the “Im feeling lucky

” button, NOT the “Google search…” and there you go.
The links are priceless too. The person who formbt sportded it to me said, “someone at Google has a sense of

Humor, and will probably be fired soon.”

Because I judge Phil Carter to regularly be both objective and honest, I was somewhat shocked to read in Slate,

his accounting of the Fallujah mosque shooting incident. In order to demonstrate where Phil goes wrong, I’m

going to use Helena Cobbam’s examination of the incident. All bolding and italics mine.
The timing of the account seems a little internally inconsistent. Sites’ description of, apparently, the first

time the battalion stormed the mosque was that it was on “Saturday”, but later it seems more likely that it

was on Friday… Maybe late-night Friday / early-morning Sat?
