"I guess I still don’t understand why the lefties are all doing a celebration dance.Hey - Kathy Carroll says you should just shut the f*ck up. Why question any of that? More fun at Dan Riehl. The AP thinks its done here, and that' s good. Now that we've established that Hussein is a real person, it will allow these initial inquiries into his stories to keep percolating, uninterrupted.The AP reported a story with two named sources saying that 6 people had been dragged into the street and burned alive, 4 mosques had been utterly destroyed, and 18 more people were killed in the obliterated mosques.
After investigating this amazing story, it turned out that:
* One of the sources immediately recanted his version of the story.
* No one was burned in the streets.
* No mosques were destroyed.
* No one was killed in the mosques that weren’t destroyed.
* A month or so later the AP has finally found an Iraqi named Jamil Hussein, but he denies being the AP’s source.
In sum, the AP published an utterly false enemy propaganda story, which has been recanted/denied by both of their named sources and demonstrated as inaccurate by people in Iraq who investigated the sites allegedly involved in the carnage. Yet according to the latest round of Townhouse groupthink, all of this is somehow damaging to the people who were critical of the AP’s original fantasy and exposed it as a pack of lies.
Very odd."

Curt at Flopping Aces this and more from a source in the Civilian Police Assistance Training Team:
The real issue is this: Jamil works in Al Khadra (think of Staten Island) -- he's telling the media about Al Hurriah murders (Think of Queens -- it's a different area of the city):Plot meet thickener.* Why would any reporter consider this guy a reliable source under these circumstances?
* There are no bodies.
* The source is a police officer from a different area of the city
* There's no official police report to refer to -- so where did the information come from?
* The bodies were reportedly taken to a hospital morgue that doesn't have a morgue
* There are no family member reports, complaints or interviews
* There are no pictures or video of the event.
* None of the other media in Baghdad are covering this....MOI officials have now questioned Captain Jamil Ghlaim at MOI headquarters. Ghlaim continues to deny speaking to AP or any other media outlet.
Oh, and just in case you came looking for the original, uncut, uncensored version of the Saddam Hussein execution video.

Unless we all adopt leftists' standards. Then maybe I can claim that John Kerry wrote The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Hey, it is a real work and Kerry is a real person (sort of) so it is true right? So what if he denies it, he is just suddenly intimidated. He admitted it earlier I swear! Kerry is an anti -Semitic liar.

Not this time. Blogs are the last line of defense the public has against the Establishment Media war on objective truth and American values.
The only shite that's going to burn over this is Carroll and Co. After they swallow their dookie sandwich in public, or course. Do you fries with that, bitch?

I was just saying AP, or someone could have used his name, and hoped nobody would take it this far in fact checking them. thats not to say the AP shouldn't go down in big greasy flames like the bloated lying pig of an institution that they have become.
USA, all the way!

their story are all wrong would tend to prove their complicity in the
story."
Don't tell them that. Thery're obviously hoping that this will go away.
When they've refused and failed to address the basic questions about their own ink...

.. and here's some "clairvoyance" from this very blog site:
"the mythical Jamil Hussein" -- ooops.
"I don't know if Jamil Hussein exists--but neither does AP." -- oops.
We're rightists. Not wrongists. Nothing disturbs our world view. Now let's grab some more food from our moms' refrigerators and blog some more!
-- "All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting." -- Orwell. (But then all he did was take a bullet in the neck writing about the Spanish Civil War. Sap.)

disbelieve us about this particular man on this particular story,"
Carroll told E&P, referring to Jamil Hussein, an Iraq police
captain.
Such fake dismay that we are no longer ignoring the man behind the
curtain is laughable at best, but pathalogical liars tend to just dig
harder and faster when they find themselves in a hole. A good lefturd
is a dead one.

The entire Jamilgate hoax was made possible by the fact that AP reporters DON'T report from a "war" zone, you hopeless idiot. If they did, they wouldn't have to rely on faceless stringers with terrorist axes to grind.
I'm guessing that you aren't fighting in Iraq, which makes Orwell's quote an accurate description of you.
Ignoring facts seems to come very easily to you. Do you work for the AP?
