I'm not sure what you're referring to. I don't remember a big deal being made about a discrepency in the number of missiles used. Even if there IS a discrepency in reports, I would say it still isn't a big deal. War is war for a reason: it's confusing and scary and it's going 24 hours a day. How accurately can missile usage be measured? A discrepency could be caused simply by reporting a number while a handful ships still hadn't filed their reports. At the end of the war, they'll be able to tell us how much of what oridnance was used, but not necessarily during the conflict.
As for the miles, it still doesn't matter. If one says 200 miles and one says 100 miles and someone else gives a different number in kilometers, so what? 99% of that kind of thing is caused by <B>everyone</B> wanting to go to print before everyone else. My girlfriend is a journalist and I know how much trouble that causes. By tomorrow or the next day, they'll have it worked out and their numbers will match more closely. The important thing is whether or not the plant exists and they ALL agree on that.
