Conspiracy Theory Journalism

Washington Post reporter Ceci Connelly on Fox News, yesterday:

Connolly: There have been many homicides of prisoners.

Hume: How many?

Connolly: I believe close to 100.

Hume
: A hundred murders?

Connolly: Homicides around the world. In Afghanistan. In Irag. That have come through Pentagon investigations.

The actual number?

27.

Wouldn't it have just been better to say 'quite a few' instead of making up a number? (Hat tip:Dirty Harry)
