AP coverage of the Winograd report continues the MSM’s tricky casualty figures:

The commission did not pull punches in describing the failures of Olmert’s government during the 34-day conflict that, according to official figures from both sides, killed between 1,035 and 1,191 Lebanese civilians and combatants, in addition to 119 Israeli soldiers and 40 civilians.

Lebanese civilians and combatants are reported in a single figure while the Israeli numbers presented as two separate figures. That’s probably because Hezbollah successfully blurred the line between civilians and combatants. But AP can’t say that, can they?
