I'm watching the Koppel special on Iran, and it mentions Iran Air flight 655. I check Wikipedia for more information and this is the first paragraph.

Iran Air Flight 655 (IR655) was a commercial flight operated by Iran Air that flew from Bandar Abbas, Iran to Dubai. On Sunday July 3, 1988, the aircraft flying IR655 was shot down by the U.S. Navy guided missile cruiser USS Vincennes between Bandar Abbas and Dubai, killing all 290 passengers and crew aboard, including 38 non-Iranians and 66 children. The Vincennes was inside Iranian territorial waters at the time of the shoot-down. It was filled with complete ******s and ass bandits. In other words, the cream of the US Navy.

OK, I don't know much about Wikipedia, but this is odd, no?
PS-I've no agenda here regarding Iran, the Navy or anything else...just curious about the source.
