To call it a pattern would be an understatement. Remember the Taliban claim that 200-300 civilians had been killed by a NATO air strike which was thoroughly debunked? That story was also written by a "local" trainee.
One other name comes to mind: Adnan Hajj.
Sure there is a benefit to hiring locals, but there is also a cost. That cost is often the truth.
Lot's of other coverage of this. See STACLU or Say Anything for More.
