Why Did The AP Alter Hussein's Reports in Their Stories?

That's the burning question that the AP and leftwingers across the web refuse to ask or even acknowledge was the initial question that triggered the manhunt for Jamil Hussein in the first place.

Bob Owens has a lengthy Monday-morning roundup, as well as a post asking what happened in the al-Hurriyah neighborhood.

Given that the AP quietly revised their stories over the past two months regarding the incident (specifically altering their reports that the 4 mosques they initially reported as destroyed are now magically only 1 mosque), Owens also wonders why they haven't released videos they claim to have of the destroyed mosque. It would, after all, bloster their case.

Curt at Flopping Aces also recieved a CPATT email indicating that Jamil Hussein denies being the source of the AP story in the first place (predictable, given the legal predicament the AP put him in by reporting his name over and over again.) Patterico reminds us that Hussein may or may not be arrested at all - the situation remains unclear given available info thus far.

Big Lizards has a massive takedown of (Leftist) Media Matters Eric Boehlert, and has more questions about the denials of the real AP source.

Here is the excellent summary of the whole controversy posted by Karl at Protein Wisdom. Here's another one from Patterico.

1 Watching AP try to free itself from this story reminds me more and more of what it must have been like watching the prehistoric wooly mamoth trying to escape a tar pit.  Ok, so it's funny so maybe it was the three stooges trying to get out of quick sand but you get my drift.

Buzzy;


I'm with you on that. It's funny. MSM dinosaurs are on the way out. Bloggers are eating to many of the MSM's eggs for them to have much of a future.


USA, all the way!
