Qana conspiracy theories

Washington Post blogger Jefferson Morley is not impressed with conspiracy theories about Hezbollah carrying out the Qana killings itself, or bringing in dead bodies to make the death toll look worse than it really was. Neither are Marc Cooper and Megan "Jane Galt" McArdle. Neither am I.

I don't believe Israel went out and killed dozens of women and children for sport, and there's no doubt that Hezbollah, a group not known for strenuous attempts to avoid civilian casualties (Lebanese or Israeli), is milking this for all it's worth. But it's still possible to support Israel's fight against Hezbollah, while conceding that the IDF made a horrible mistake here.
