61 articles by the AP from this guy who does not exist!  And 23 stories by Lt. Maithem Abdul Razzaq

who has a warrant out for impersonating a government official. this is part of an even larger fabric of lies.

But then again I'm sure the AP knows better about what is going on in Iraq than CENTCOM.  Press people are omniscient.  They know more about the truth than anyone. Just like Peter Arnett got the truth from Baghdad Bob and his employers, and even further back he got the straight skinny from uncle Ho and the boys.  (actuall Arnett was the Ho) 

May these press vermin who lie die a slow painful death for all the hurt they have brought to the men that have died and their families due to their actions.  I'd be happy to discuss the geopolitical meaning of the Vietnam experience, including operation Tailwind with Peter anytime.  No marques of queensbury rules involved.

link they finally found Jamil Hussein, now we can get around to asking him some questions.

Seems the Iraqi Government isn't very happy with him as he is now under arrest, guess they don't like it when police officers tell the AP stories that were shall we say, ever so kindly, embellished.  Or perhaps exaggerated fits better?  Hyperbolize maybe?

Oh what the hell, let's just call a spade a spade and call him a liar.

I hope he enjoys telling tall tales in jail.

 

 

On Thursday, Khalaf told AP that the ministry at first had searched its files for Jamil Hussein and found no one. He said a later search turned up Capt. Jamil Gholaiem Hussein, assigned to the Khadra police station.

But the AP had already identified the captain by all three names in a story on Nov. 28-- two days before the Interior Ministry publicly denied his existence on the police rolls.

Khalaf did not say whether the U.S. military had ever been told that Hussein in fact exists. Garver, the U.S. military spokesman, said Thursday that he was not aware that the military had ever been told.

Khalaf said Thursday that with the arrest of Hussein for breaking police regulations against talking to reporters, the AP would be called to identify him in a lineup as the source of its story.

Should the AP decline to assist in the identification, Khalaf said, the case against Hussein would be dropped. He also said there were no plans to pursue action against the AP should it decline.

Actually, from most reports of what i've read, most of what he had passed on were reported as fact's by the AP, even though they were in actuality unconfirmed report's. Does that make him a liar? By my standard's yes. Especially... when earlier stories of larger attacks against mosque's and civillians are turning out to be greatly exaggerated and sensationalized new's pieces.

 

I haven't seen anything yet that they The (IIM) tried to cover up the mosque attack's. Do you mean that they tried too cover up the existence of Capt. Hussein? I seriously doubt it, seeing that the Iraqi state is in the process of putting itself together after several decades of Saddam's corrupt rule. They shouldn't be let off the hook in overlooking his name, however... this should be an impetus to the interior ministry of getting itself more efficiently organized in it's tracking & record keeping of government employee's, especially in a muslim state where Arabic names are easily mixed up due to the conventions! I'm just glad they found him, so we can get better confirmation on the 5 - 6 dozen report's attributed too him and why so much of what he said were greatly exaggerated!

 

Also it's not that we fall for what they say. It's becuase of the power of the internet where people can share and pass on information and even research it for themseleves, in which, is the real allure of reading the blog's themseleves! On the other hand... just trusting in printed new's isn't good enough anymore, primarily when all they do is re-publish each other's work, with all the multitudes of uncorrected error's still in place and any retraction of their mistakes is hard too come by. Might as well be getting your teeth pulled, instead of complaining about all of their inaccuracies to the news agencies themseleves. The experience is the same and leaves a bitter taste in the mouth!

Obviously you don't know why everyone wanted to find Jamil Hussein in the first place. It seems the Iraqi's and Americans investigated his story on the burnings, and guess what, he lied.  That's where the lying comes from, and THAT is why he is now in jail.

I haven't seen anything yet that they The (IIM) tried to cover up the mosque attack's. Do you mean that they tried too cover up the existence of Capt. Hussein?

 

No I mean they didn’t report the mosque as being attacked in November.  A Sunni imam, the good captain, and multiple residents stated the mosque was attacked, each independent of the other.  It could be that they were all lying, and indeed most of the statements were retracted after “visits”.

 

I'm just glad they found him, so we can get better confirmation on the 5 - 6 dozen report's attributed too him and why so much of what he said were greatly exaggerated!

 

Show me the other reports that were “greatly exaggerated” according to the news article the AP has been using Hussein since 2004, and he proved reliable in their view.

I’m not saying that the news media is perfect, they definitely have their problems, but there are checks on the newspapers…a good newspaper has editors and fact checkers who should be able to separate the wheat from the chaff.   Everything should be sourced in a newspaper except the editorials and the funny pages.  Blogs on the other hand, don’t always have those brakes.  Curt at Flopping Aces (a policeman, and no obvious training in journalism) questions the AP source for the mosque attack story, Michelle Malkin picks it up, and runs with it, AllahPundit, Confederate Yankee, and Instapundit link to the story, and finally Eason Jordan sends a search party to find Hussein.  None of them really questions why they are questioning the AP source, other than stating that that particular mosque attack was not reported by the Iraqi government, (and we all know how transparent the Iraqi government is), or the US military (who probably are only told when one is attacked by the transparent Iraqi government).  But you are right that everything at this point has been so jumbled up we don’t really know who is telling the truth.  I would be very interested in hearing what Mr. Hussein  has to say.
