They admit they blew it, but are arguing (IMHO correctly) that the media blew it by running with an unconfirmed source.

The twits who are protesting the funerals have changed tacks to other than military funerals as there is a group of bikers who have organized to block their protests at military funerals.
I find that bikers number many veterans, and those who support the military. Have you ever seen Rolling Thunder in DC on Memorial Day?

I think it's awful that people use sensitive situations like this to push their agendas.
