The 4-minute NPR audio from today's "Morning Edition" can be listened to here: http://discover.npr.org/features/feature.jhtml?wfId=1223246 Note: This is not an eyewitness report. It's an interview with an NPR reporter who was told by an official from the Marines who said he'd heard it from the intelligence network. Enough degrees of separation to treat the report with skepticism, but enough detail to definitely be of interest! |
