AP asks Maliki: Ensure that justice is done in Hussein hearing

Cameron – I’m guessing that you were too busy spitting bile to notice the two links at the bottom of the article – specifically this one ?

to wit:

“…Bilal Hussein was discovered by American troops …” – actually he invited them into his apartment so they could observe the street below. Then he went for a sleep. What a hard core terrorist, huh ?

“…a weapons cache…” No weapons cache, no explosives. No-one from the US military has ever claimed any such thing, and they’ve claimed everything else,

“…with known members of al Qaeda…” – the US military proved in custody that he had never met the one al-Queda suspect present in his apartment before. The second was acquitted of all charges,

“…and tested positive for explosives…” – even if he did, the test used tests positive if it detects – wait for it – hand lotion, and this man’s job was to photograph scenes of recent explosions.

“…there is also reported to be evidence that Bilal video taped men being beheaded…” Er, no-one has ever said that until now. I think you’re thinking of when he and two other AP journalists were forced at gunpoint to photograph the dead body of an Italian hostage. Hussein was a photographer, not a videographer.

You might want to ask yourself why, if Hussein was such a danger to Iraq, why the US military offered to release him in May 2006 – and he could continue working for AP – as long as spied for them as well . Though, you probably won’t want to wonder about it too much, because it fatally undermines your own little conspiracy theory.

Nice try, though. Troll much ?

“…the US military has said they have irrefutable evidence of Bila’s guilt…”

Strange they’d keep it to themselves, isn’t it ?

Strange they’d offer to release such a dangerous terrorist in May 2006 (and let him keep working for AP) as long as he’d spy for them, isn’t it ?

Strange they’d not interview such a valuable (and co-operative) prisoner for 18 months between May 2006 and Nov 2007, isn’t it ?

And strange they would tell him: “Your photos present a threat to us…This is why you won’t be released”, isn’t it ?

Strange Bilal never mentioned to the military his position as a stringer for AP, don’t you think? I would have been happy to hear Bilal, along with his al Qaeda associates, oops I mean those complete strangers he invited into his apartment, were all imideatly put up against a wall and shot, on the spot. That would have served natural justice. Despite what brain dead moonbats may assume, in a war zone the default position is to give the benefit of the doubt to those fighting on behalf of freedom, and not the barbaric terrorists and their sympathizers.

He was in custody for weeks and never mentioned his work as a stringer for AP, and that doesn’t come from Michelle Malkin. AP does not have a very sterling record. They’ve reported as true enemy propaganda more than once. Remember this little gem?

The Associated Press, Reuters, and a small Iraqi Independent news agency called Voice of Iraq released stories on June 28, 2007 about the massacre of 20 men near Salman Pak in Um al-Abeed. The men were supposedly found decapitated on the banks of the Tigris River. The only two sources for the Associated Press article were anonymous police who were not located in Salman Pak, but were from Baghdad (more than a dozen miles away) and Kut (more than 75 miles away).

On June 30, 2007 Reuters reported that according to the U.S. military, the stories were “untrue and may have been planted by insurgents to provoke revenge attacks.”

Or how about the Captain Jamil Hussein? The AP has no credibility on this story, none.

Save the righteous indignation for someone who cares what ignorant moonbats think.

So you think the attempt to turn AP’s al Qaeda hire is proof of his innocence? LOL Just how self deluded are you?

The AP has a sorded and disgraceful history of reporting enemy propaganda as news. In la la land, where you reside, the US military is the enemy of freedom. In the real world, and especially in Iraq, they’re the champions of freedom.

MNF-I says they have convincing and irrefutable evidence of the man’s guilt. Once his case is adjudicated we need to have a public investigation into those responsible for willingly hiring enemy agents, and spreading enemy propaganda.

After Bilal is tried, and convicted. It will be time to see AP editors and executives responsible for spreading enemy propaganda held responsible.

This is going to become a big story. It just isn’t going to turn out the way you and AP thinks or wants it to.

No, you’ve made it very clear who you think the real enemy happens to be. I’m not a parrot sweetheart, nor am I a brain dead moonbat who thinks the US military is the enemy of freedom. They got the goods on him this time sweetheart.

Bilal Hussein and several others in the Fallujah area during 2004 had come to the attention of US forces tasked with information operations.

They noted ongoing reports coming out of Fallujah that did not match the reality they were aware of. Stories of children and civilians being killed would come out, but in areas where the Marines had not conducted operations. Many of these stories featured pictures and reporting from Hussein and quotes from the same two doctors at Fallujah Hospital. During this period of time Fallujah was controlled almost completely by al-Qaeda and Sunni insurgents. Anyone doing anything was subject to their approval.

Bilal Hussein had free reign to be anywhere and was often taking pictures in the company of insurgents and terrorists. He and the other stringers who made up AP’s Pulitzer Prize winning photo team managed to capture assassinations as they happened. They were on site at bombings within seconds to capture the carnage almost as it happened.

This access and the number of false reports of civilian deaths led the information operations staff to take note. They began monitoring Hussein more closely for two reasons: one they were tasked with countering or debunking false claims of civilian casualties and atrocities, second because Hussein’s very tight relations with the insurgents could be used against the Marines themselves.

This team was comprised of US Public Affairs and Intelligence personnel as well as a Special Ops unit to exploit any actionable intelligence gathered. It was an extraordinary measure and only the fact that Hussein and several others were acting as de facto terror press agents prompted it.”

They’ve got the goods on your terrorists agent this time, and a reckoning is going to come.
