GUARDS SHOOT UNARMED PRISONERS, OR MAYBE NOT

There are conflicting reports about an incident at a Baghdad jail. All reports agree that at least one prisoner seized a guard's weapon and then opened fire. The reported death toll varies considerably from source to source.

What's interesting about the reporting is the inclusion of this paragraph, apparently originating with Reuters and picked up by the ABC, Sydney Morning Herald and the Age:

Up to six guards were killed, one police source said, before security forces began firing into the unarmed prisoners.

Considering the confusion as to exactly what happened and the fact that at least one of the prisoners was armed, it isn't really fair to make it sound like guards indiscriminately fired on poor old unarmed prisoners. This is just one more example of the relentless lefty bias we're subjected to every day.

Reports from The Australian, The Daily Telegraph and AFP do not include the unarmed prisoners crapola.
