I wonder how close Green Zone the movie is to the reality?

If you have a population of 12 mosques and investigate 2 of them, the results of your survey has a margin of error of +/- 67%. So that means that if you say there are no weapons in either mosque, it is still possible that as many as 8 of the mosques had weapons.

Actually a lot of people are taking it seriously.

Oh my gosh, exactly what J said. He sounds like a ‘free Palestine’ activist from Sydney uni.

Wow. First he criticises Col. Collins for discovering evidence of secondary explosions without using a forensics lab. Then – in the same breath – he declares (without using a forensics lab) that he saw "absolutely no evidence whatsoever" that explosive material had been stored in the two mosques he visited!

And wait – it gets better. He now makes a "leap of faith", since he would never store military materiel in a place of worship, neither would anyone else!

Unbelievable. If this is the level of "expertise" throughout the Goldstone report, no wonder nobody is taking it seriously.

And this chap teaches "war crime investigation" at the Hague. Good grief.
