#14  At this point in AP's credibility, if they reported that the sky was blue, I'd still run outside and take a look.
What a sad, sad thing it is for a venerable and once-trusted institution to have pissed away the high regard in which they were once held.
Hey, I'm on my second glass of chablis. I always sound high-mindedly Victorian when I am slightly mellow.
The gentleman might very well have been one of the "good guys" but given AP's recent track record, it's not something that I intend to take AP's unsupported word for, either.

#13  Glenmore - you are correct, however, the AP has brought this cynicism on themselves with their blatant lies, photoshopped images, terrorist stringers, agitprop as news, et al. Until he's proven to be a "good guy", I remain snarky and unsympathetic...and BTW, what are they going to do to prove he's a "good guy"? We have to take the AP's word on it?

Bwahahahaha

#10  Wore the wrong-colored tie that day. Iraqi "insurgents" just have NO sense of humor.

#9  I believe this is called "red on red".

#8  As the great Bobby Vinton once said:

Blue on blue, heartache on heartache
Blue on blue now that we are through.

#7  Given the current level of sectarian violence, it's hard to know whom to believe over there when it comes to Iraqi spokesmen and wire-service stringers.

In any case, he left behind a wife and two small children. My condolences.

#6  I know your comments are all snark aimed at the AP, but this fellow may well have been a 'good guy' - even the AP has them - which makes it a sad event.
