Lies become truth when they support your cause.

Another example of media incompetence. The rush for a sensational headline that doubles as "evidence" for their cause. In reality, it is a blow to the US in a war of information verses propaganda. Who's side is our media on?

--------------
...six Iraqi Sunnis were dragged from a mosque in Baghdad last week, doused with kerosene, and burned to death by a Shia mob.
...

The Associated Press ran the dousing story on November 24 and the story was repeated world-wide....

Sensational, "headline-generating" elements absolutely jam the story: gruesome savagery, mob action, chaos in Iraq.

The AP identified "Police Captain Jamil Hussein" as its source for the story, with a second source identified as "a Sunni elder."

On November 25, the press office of Multi-National Corps-Iraq (MNCI) published press release... stated that investigation showed only one mosque had been attacked and found no evidence to support the story of the six immolated Sunnis.

an email from MNCI to the AP that states "...neither we nor Baghdad Police had any reports of such an incident after investigating it and could find no one to corroborate the storyWe can tell you definitively that the primary source of this story, police Capt. Jamil Hussein, is not a Baghdad police officer or an MOI employee."

...the AP has quoted "Jamil Hussein" in at least eight stories since April 2006.
