Per Version: The Case of The Dead Woman

As you know, I have on more than one occasion pointed out the discrepancies between palestinian reports of the same incident, in order to demonstrate why you should not accept them at face value.
Now it’s Soccer Dad’s turn. And since he’s done such a good job at questioning the reportage, I can’t do much else except recommend you read his post.

Thank you very much.
No, thank you.
It was a fantastic post.
Well, you’re welcome then. I’m glad that I successfully followed the example you set.
It seems to be happening a lot lately.( http://bogieworks.blogs.com/treppenwitz/2008/01/looking-at-the.html )
FWIW, I believe that my suspicions were confirmed.
But Hamas members among the pilgrims feared arrest if they tried to return to Gaza through Israel. Pilgrims staged angry protests, setting fires in makeshift camps, to demand passage through Egypt. Three Palestinian women died of natural causes while waiting, Palestinians said.

Many of the returning Palestinians complained of harsh conditions and the bitter cold in Sinai. The Egyptian authorities put them up in a stadium and provided food and medicine, the returnees said. But two of the pilgrims died of heart attacks during the wait in the desert town.

The numbers don’t agree, but no mention of violent deaths.
