Just on CNN. The police SAVED the contractors.

[Silverhair]

CNN just reported that the police saved the contractors from a gang of gunmen who had opened fire on the contractors. The gang lost several killed.

According to CNN.

1. How many hours have passed since this took place?

And only now are they reporting this version of events?

[Tyranny_R_US]

4. I think 3-4 hours but can you search DU Breaking and see when the 1st...

report of the shooting was posted.

[geomon666]

21. The first post came here at 4:58PM EST

That's almost two hours ago and these people can't get their damn stories straight.

2. I am a bit skeptical about this

3. Sounds alot like the London shooting of the man they assumed was a bomber.

Mystery gunman still taking shots at people? I thought the Gov't had it in control since yesterday. Who do they think they're kidding?

[DoYouEverWonder]

5. Oh goody, now we have a new boogie man or should I say men

Osama wasn't scaring anybody any more, so now we have to be afraid of our own people.

It use to be all brown skinned middle eastern men. Now we are going after all young black american men.

This is all part of Bush's new war on black people.

Be Aware. Don't let them deceive you.

[Waya]

6. Why do I get the feeling....

...that there is severe ass-covering going on?......

[SammyWinstonJack]

8. conflicting reports?

So what's the real story? :shrug:

[Reciprocity]

7. I thought it said they shot the contractors thinking they were gunmen.

[gatorboy]

9. Originally it did.

But the new story is gunmen took shota at the engineers and the police shot at the gunman.

Which begs the question. If the police are there guarding the engineers, who would take shots at them if the area is secured already?

[SofaKingLiberal]

17. There's only one group of thugs I can think of.

[RandiFan1290]

10. Like a dog kicking up dust

to cover its shit.

[Jeanette in FL]

11. Yeah, that's it, that's the ticket

This is becoming more and more bizarre

[eleny]

12. This is the third story and I say it's bullshit

[Minstrel Boy]

13. "Good Old Shoe"

Remember that song?

[Jeanette in FL]

15. Yeah, Willie Nelson

Wag the Dog. Excellent

[cascadiance]

14. Here's what my CNN breaking news email said just a bit ago...

-- AP: Army Corps of Engineers says police killed some of its workers as they crossed a bridge on the way to repair a canal.

Sounds like they got this "flawed" report from AP?

[cascadiance]

18. Just now got a correction that says...

-- AP: Army Corps of Engineers says its contractors were not killed by police, but gunmen who fired at them were killed.

I wonder if they have "new staff" at CNN putting stuff up. Just earlier yesterday, I had consecutive Breaking News emails on the same story too.

The first said:

-- President Bush:

And the second said:

-- President Bush announces more than 7,000 active duty troops to be sent to help relief efforts in areas hit by Hurricane Katrina.

In the past they haven't made many mistakes like that.

[Catchawave]

22. My alert was time stamped 6:35 est and stated

-- AP: Army Corps of Engineers says its contractors were not killed by police, but gunmen who fired at them were killed.

[undeterred]

16. What contractors- is Haliburton there already?

[NNN0LHI]

19. I wonder if the gang of gunmen were all wearing scuba gear? n/t

[norml]

20. Too late, the real story is already out.
