Ah!  So the press was completely, totally, and utterly fooled, eh?  And what conclusion/lesson are we to draw from that -- what conclusion concerning the reporting of the press on much more serious matters............such as the progress of the Iraq war?

There's always the possibility that the second source which is now reporting the "rumor" story is the report that is being less than factual............or at least that's something which should be considered.  Don't trust any of 'em.

However: I tend to suspect that the original story was probably a fake.  Possibly even a publicity stunt.

But you never know, do you?  You can't believe everything that you read in the papers.  Including the article which is now saying that this was all just a rumor.

"All generalizations are false: including this one."
