This isn't who you trust, more of a fun thread. During the war, what were the best news fuckups you remember related to the situation in Iraq?

Mine comes from FOX (how peculiar, right?) who had a tendency to report things as fact before all the details were in:

One night on FOX, it was reported that soldiers had found a "100 by 100 acre factory for manufacturing WMD." An hour or two later, it was referred to as being "10 by 10 acres, possibly bigger." Eventually, I never heard anything else about it. It was the incredible, shrinking WMB factory. I checked FOXnews.com, but couldn't find any story on it, I guess it was just on TV.
