According to the front page of Monday's Boston Globe, one doesn't need evidence to have "evidence."
Military offers evidence of Iran arming Iraqi militants
Sees high-level Tehran role
By John Donnelly and Farah Stockman, Globe Staff | February 12, 2007WASHINGTON -- US military officials in Baghdad, presenting long-awaited evidence that Iran has been providing weaponry to Iraqi militants, said yesterday that Iranian security forces linked to the "highest levels" of the Iranian government have been smuggling explosives into Iraq for at least the past two years.
The officials , who refused to be identified at the press conference, said the Iranian-supplied munitions had killed more than 170 coalition troops and wounded more than 620 others.
The rest of the story, however, never again mentions or discusses the above "evidence" -- what it is, why it is "evidence", who says it is evidence, and if anyone except these anonymous military people actually believe the "evidence" is "evidence."
This has to be one of the worst-written news stories I have ever seen in my life.
