On Wednesday, a BBC Syria producer announced to the world that the hospital scene in a BBC story in the wake of a suspected chemical attack in Syria last April was "fake." The story had helped mislead the public opinion. Seven days later, the U.S., together with its allies France and the UK, bombed what they believed were chemical weapons facilities in Syria, hours before UN inspectors were due to arrive for an official investigation.
