All the big guns are already all over this one, but I have to link to it, too.



This alleged elderly Iraqi woman--because as far as I know, she could be Mildred McGillicutty from Queens, claims that these are two bullets "which she says hit her house following an early coalition forces raid in the predominantly Shiite Baghdad suburb of Sadr City."

What she is holding are two unfired, pristine and unused cartridges.  The bullet is the pointy part sticking out of the top end.

Yet another example of the media being so interested in propaganda and scare tactics that they publish something like this as "news."  This is not news.  This is a lie, and it's an obvious lie.

UPDATE:  Media Mythbusters reports that these cartridges have all the appearance of civilian ammunition, and not any type of ammo issued to the U.S. military.
