Did The LA Times - Essentially - Censor A Key Point In A Major International Story?

There is nothing I can add to the above story. Just read it. But if it is true that the Los Angeles Times rewrote and edited wire copy on a major international event to totally omit the proof supporting the American military, the only question is who needs to be fired. This is so serious, I hope the LA Times has a reasonable explanation. It is simply unthinkable that anyone at any American newspaper could have done this to our troops.
