Her actual quote to Fox, from rawstory.com quoted on CNN's breaking-news site, was
In an interview with Fox News, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer said, “We cannot afford all this illegal immigration and everything that comes with it, everything from the crime and to the drugs and the kidnappings and the extortion and the beheadings.” “Our law enforcement agencies have found bodies in the desert, either buried or just lying out there, that have been beheaded,” she added.

She didn't say who did the beheadings. Presumably these were bodies that have been found on the Arizona side of the border. The newsies are rushing to call her a liar, but they're changing her quote to do it, and if it turns out she was right, they won't retract or correct.
Somebody archive this clip quickly -- before Ezra Klein's little Gollums can slip around to tell CNN to obliterate it.
Dana Milbank uses word games. What would be next? Say that there were a few bank robberies recently and the rebuttal will be - a police source said that police does not know of any “immigration-related” robberies?
I wonder how Milbank defines “immigration-related”? Beheading specifically in order to cross border?
