11. This Reuters article has an apparent error

It says:
"The Iraqi Interior Ministry says 11 people were killed when Blackwater contractors fired randomly after mortar rounds landed near their convoy."
None of the other reports I have seen have the Iraqi's saying that BW was responding to any sort of fire--Iraqi Interior Ministry has been very consistently reported, as far as I have seen, as saying that there was NO PROVOKING FIRE, only a car which didn't get out of the way fast enough.
