In April 2003, [[New York Times]] journalist Jayson Blair writes "In Military Wards, Questions and Fears From the Wounded." Blair describes face to face conversations with four injured soldiers in a [[Navy]] hospital. The only problem is that he was never there and only talked to one soldier over the phone.
