Fog of war

A salutary reminder from Stephen Den Beste:

It's natural that we all are worried about what is happening in this war. It's natural that we want to know what's going on. And in the Internet age, we're used to information propagating across the globe in minutes. But it's important to understand that fog of war is a very real phenomenon, and the Internet didn't abolish it. A lot of the news reports that you're going to see, or hear about second hand, are going to turn out to be false. We all need to practice patience.
