MORE KANDAHAR ERRORS, THIS TIME FROM THE GLOBE

Incorrect. More than three minutes passed between the time Maj. Schmidt first reported seeing surface fire, and the time he dropped his bomb. His statement of intention to attack was exactly 90 seconds before the fatal act... big difference.

This story would be a lot easier for people to understand if Canadian journalists would stop making fundamental errors of fact.
