CNN: C BS stringer a splody dope
2005-04-17
I should have just posted the link to see how many would go through the BS to get to the pony. But it’s Sunday, so here it is:

The U.S. military reported Saturday that the CBS stringer detained after a gunbattle between U.S. forces and insurgents earlier this month has "tested positive for explosive residue." Just some first hand reporting. Nothing to see here. Move on. - D. Rather

"Multinational forces continue to investigate I hope that means the Iraqis are using Iraqi interogation protocols potential collaboration between the stringer and terrorists, and allegations the stringer had knowledge of future terrorist attacks," said Sgt. John Franzen of Task Force Freedom in Mosul.

Officials are looking into the stringer’s previous activities and alleged support of insurgency activities.

The case stems from an April 5 incident in which the stringer, who was working as a photographer, was wounded in the clash. He was standing next to an insurgent who was killed.

#4  They may have hired him because he had 'connections', but they likely didn't 'care' about anything beyond that.

It's probably not the first time that the MSM has hired somebody based on those type of qualifications. It's just that it was finally reported.

#3  My question is: Did CBS know of this person's activities before they took him on?

In short did CBS knowingly hire a terrorist? And was that a job requirement?

#2  The tip of the MSM jihadi symp 'berg...

Put him on the Iraqi TV show to explain to them why he was helping asshats blow up Iraqi citizens. He can explain the "logic" of the jihadis and then he should be allowed to meet his adoring public so they can properly thank him.
