":::::::: that researcher was indeed relieved (we really don't don't know how it went down) because he did not want to publish a fast comment - on a different article i found, the other head researcher (there were two) complains that because of him (the relieved researcher), they waited too long before they published that the boy was most probably killed by palestinians and thus their investigation lost any of it's value. on that artilce he stresses that israel has not yet learned to counter the most problematic issue in this media debacle, which is the limited time that an issue stays in the media and that responses must be made within' that time frame. on a second note: yes, both researchers are Israeli, however they have, in my opinion, more validity than other pseudo-researchers who took testimonials from the infamous netzarim junction (see: pallywood video) for granted. it reminds me of this CNN transcript from the ""massacre"" of jenin: ""And all of them, almost all of them, told us stories of mass graves, of bodies being loaded into trucks and driven away. Of bodies being left in the sewers and bulldozed.""... needless to say, i was pissed when i witnessed that broadcast. now, I'm not saying we have to take the reaserchers' word as the absolute truth without presenting other opinions - but i don't think it can/should be dismissed.
