The Associated Press has been highly successful at framing questions about their inaccurate reporting from Iraq as being entirely an issue of whether Jamil Hussein (or whatever his name is) exists, and then, citing one government figure who purports to confirm the existence of Hussein, claiming victory over all those who raised, not just questions of Hussein’s existence, but his accuracy as a sole source for more than sixty questionable AP stories.
Leaving aside that nobody has yet been able to interview Hussein, or otherwise confirm the truth of the government confirmation of his existence, on the ground reporting from the blogosphere is making it increasingly obvious that questions about his accuracy are being resolved - and that his accuracy is non-existent.
Still, this is likely not a story that the MSM will wish to pursue. Even Malkin and Preston’s sponsor, Eason Jordan, is not giving this report particularly heavy play.

Jordan didn’t sponsor our trip, the NY Post did. I personally don’t trust Eason Jordan and would have a hard time trusting him to drive me down the street, let alone providing for our security in Baghdad.
I’m willing to think about trusting Jordan in the future, but he’s going to have run a steam roller solidly over a few dozen layers of asphalt on top of his past first.
Probably take at least 5 years, maybe more, but yea I get you, I’d not put my life in his hands ever.
Thanks, BTW, for your original reporting Bryan, it is much appreciated.
