'not exactly'

Q: what's worse than mistakening a man for a terrorist and subsequently shooting him 7 times in the head before being sure of his identity? A: lying about the details to make it acceptible [update: BBC reports Menezes' family wants "shoot to kill" policy suspended "The family of a man shot dead by police who mistakenly suspected him of being a suicide bomber are calling for a public inquiry into the killing. The dead man's cousin has said those responsible should be jailed for life."]
