This blog consists of comments from my real blog, http://scienceblogs.com/stoat/, which I don't want to publish there. Plus some other stuff convenient to place here. And its becoming a convenient place for me to dump my comments on other blogs so I can find them again.

ReplyDeleteAs FL says, they weren't killed by Turkey. Obviously some "turkmen" you've never heard of killing a Russian pilot you've never heard of is more newsworthy than the many turkmen the Ruskies have bombed to death recently; or at least, I don't recall you bothering to note the turkmen deaths.
Then there seems to be one missing, where I point out that not only isn't it false that Turkey killed the pilots, but even his own source says so.
ReplyDeleteYour post *still* says Turkey killed the pilots, even though you now know that's wrong.
ReplyDeleteWould it help if I pointed out that one of the pilots isn't even dead? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-34925229
