In an article compiled by Luke Harding, Shaun Walker and Julian Borger, entitled “MH17 report suggests efforts were made to cover up causes of disaster”, and published October 13, the Guardian claimed the Dutch report on the downing of MH17 alleged there was evidence of a “bungled autopsy” and attempt to “remove foreign objects” from the body of the first officer. The implication was that this had been done in order to conceal the cause of the crash, and the further implication was of course that Russia and the rebels had been involved.The report by the Dutch safety board said that more than 120 objects, “mostly metal fragments”, were found in the body of the first officer, who had sustained “multiple fractures”.. When Dutch experts identified the captain’s body they found it had already “undergone an external and internal examination to remove foreign objects”. Despite apparent attempts to remove shrapnel, “hundreds of metal objects were found”, the report said, as well as bone fractures and other injuries.
After this appeared a rebuttal was posted BTL, by the CiFer known as Pigswiggle, who showed conclusively the report made no such claim, or anything remotely like such a claim.…
*******
Which means to all intents and purposes the lie is left to stand, “retraction” or no.
Is this ethical journalism?…Hmmm.

If the US had an iota of credible evidence supporting the line; that the Russians / Russian supported folks of Donbass pulled the trigger on MH17, the Western MSM would be awash with supporting headlines.
The US, Kiev and Russia know full well who shot down the airliner. Their motives for suppressing the truth from the public are rooted in their unique geopolitical endeavors.
Obviously, the US / Kiev don't want the truth to surface as it would expose the total bankruptcy of Nuland and company's foreign policy efforts.
Russia, is playing it's cards carefully, no doubt holding back their MH17 knowledge, to be played at a more advantageous point.
I wonder how much the CIA paid Harding, Walker, and Borger to run that story?
My thought exactly.
