Mis-informing again I see. From the article...
Quote:
In an attempt to stave off further revelations, Gen Halutz met Mr Sarid on Wednesday. The general admitted that the military had lied, but tried to persuade the MP that the missiles could not have caused large numbers of casualties.
Afterwards the military released a statement, saying: "For reasons of securing information and for operational reasons, it was not possible to state completely events at Nuseirat. In any case, the version shown and the explanation given regarding those hurt in the action, along with the video footage, are correct."
Mr Sarid is unconvinced and is still threatening to go public with the information he has.
"It is evident the number of casualties is higher than the military claimed," he said. "It is now clear how incorrect the information the military gave was. Further clarification is needed to determine how deceptive the information was intended to be."

No where in the article does the military state that it lied. According to the story spun by "Sarid" the military lied. In addition no where does the article state "that it was an American-made Flechette"...it is "SPECULATION"...by Sarid.
