Agreed.....certainly the bit about the credibility of The Sun

I saw a similar story but it wasn't from the Sun. I'll see if I can find it again.

Every source I've found quotes The Sun, and I haven't been able to find any AP reports.

I wouldn't be surprised if the story were true, but I remain skeptical until I see something on it from the DOD or some accredited source. http://www.defense.gov/releases

Same here mate....The Sun is not the most reputable or reliable source

A LOT of credibility:
Reuters.

No iPhone mention in this one, no movie-style script.
