Slander, calumny and lies

I didn't see it on CNNI, but several Asian papers covered the claim of a doctor who said he saw bodies killed by Israeli "chemical weapons".

But to a doctor, the description suggested something different: people who died from a nearby fire, and died of heat and fumes. (I won't go into the gory details, except to say I've seen bodies that fit the description...)..so why did this doctor make the claim? Ignorance? or was he lying? And why didn't the press question his statements?

Well, now a German newssite checked for chemical residue in tissue samples, and found none. the "blackened" bodies were caused by smoke.
