Hotel Palestine Attacked
I was in the DFAC getting dinner and the current story on CNN was about the Hotel Palestine being attacked. The press will sort of be forced to cover this story, since they don't have to leave the hotel. From their coverage of the area, most of them don't seem to, so I guess the terrorists decided the best way to get themselves some airtime is to take the fight to the "journalists".
Although this is the first time that I can recall this particular hotel being attacked intentionally. I do recall another incident in the past. However, I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for the indictments to be handed out by Spanish courts to the perpetrators this time.
Follow this link if you're interested in what really happened to prompt members of 4-64 Armor, 2nd BDE, 3rd ID to fire on the Hotel Palestine. There is alot left out of the current stories you may have heard on the MSM. Note that this page takes a little bit to load; after you see the main graphic, the text pops in eventually.
