Proving That Reporters Can’t Do Math
Confederate Yankee looks at a BBC story about cluster munitions in Southern Lebanon and proves, rather quickly, that the Beeb's reporters have never heard of a calculator. The number the BBC reports is so ludicrously inflated, that it should be embarrassing to them. But they are the Beeb, I don't think they are capable of shame.

Have you done the math yourself or are you taking his word for it?

Actually, yes, I checked. Why?

FF11 came over whining to my site as well. He doesn’t seem to like things that reflect badly on the BBC, the United Nations, or Hezbollah, so that should tell you what you need to know about him.
