The International Committee of the Red Cross is digging in their heels and rebuking Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer: Red Cross slams Downer hoax claim.

THE International Committee of the Red Cross has rebuked Foreign Minister Alexander Downer for relying on an unverified internet blog to claim an Israeli missile strike on one of its ambulances in southern Lebanon was a hoax.

A spokeswoman for the ICRC in Geneva said yesterday there was no evidence to support Mr Downer’s assertion that the international media had been duped in reporting that Israel had deliberately targeted the ambulance.

If the ICRC has nothing to hide, why did they sneakily delete the high resolution photograph of the ambulance in question from their web site?

And Michelle is right—the mainstream media are almost completely ignoring this story.
