He had been sitting in Abu Ghraib for a month, and nobody realized that he was the AP photog who had snapped dozens of staged photos with al Qaeda fighters.
Until he was noticed by an investigator who reads the Jawa Report.

That takes major balls! Would the taliban now consider him the ‘enemy’, after hanging around
Abu Ghraib?
From the article:
“The Jawa Report, sticking it to al Qaeda propagandists from the comfort of our living rooms. Any one wish to complain about the “chickenhawk” bloggers now?”
101st Fighting Keyboards on duty. F-in’ A.
Wouldn’t it be nice if some enterprising young ambulance chaser earned his dorsal fin by bankrupting the AP over this? As the Jawa guy says, this has “victim lawsuit” all over it. There’s more than one way to shut down an enemy propagandist, a two BILLION dollar lawsuit that tanks the AP works for me much better than some “hate speech” legislation.
Let’s see ’em shrug that off, eh?
Michelle Malkin has been following the AP/ Hussein saga for a long time.
AP appears to be less credible as the story unfolds.
And will this affect CP’s believability on their dissemination of Iraqi events gleaned from AP?
Or has CP’s image already been damaged in Canada beyond repair by the internet coverage of their spin on Afghanistan and Iraqi stories?
A ‘professional photo-journalist’ in jail for a month? His paymasters at AP didn’t offer to bail him out?
AP/Reuters blather or their photoshopped pics have to be taken with such a grain of salt that it’s a waste of time trying to decipher why they created the story….
Good work by the 101st Fighting Keyboards!
Don’t you just love the sound of exploding heads coming from the MSM offices?
I’ll look forward to the front page article at the G&M on how AP hires al-Qaida members to do their photography… I wonder how many of those “award winning” pictures were published there, or at the Star, etc.
I see all these articles from the Middle East these days coming in with double author bylines… an arabic name, and the “Western” reporter name, and I basically assume now that the Western person did zero work, just sipped a beer at some local pub, and then just signed off on whatever the arabic person wrote. No credibility whatsoever.
Was there a time when we actually believed the large media outlets? I’ve been reading papers for 30 years, and don’t recall having such utter contempt for journalists until the last few years.
Lori, dittos.
I’ve gone from having admiration and giving huge credibility to most of the MSM…to today, where I have utter contempt for most of ’em. This applies to both the “journalists” and the print and broadcast entities. Far too many bilious, incompetent, lazy, biased hacks.
AP = Al Pquida.
The P is silent, as in Pneumatic.
You notice how they state that this terrorist “infiltrated” the AP?
Isn’t that kind of like saying a Catholic Priest “infiltrated” the Vatican?
Yet another example of the inherent dishonesty of today’s media.
In any other industry,morality would dictate this fraud being unemployed.
Sigh.
Lori …” … I wonder how many of those “award winning” pictures were published there, or at the Star, etc.”
ALL of them!
If al qaeda finds it that easy to “infiltrate” the MSM, how many of them do you think we have at RedStar, cbcPravda, and the Moan and Wail? Do you think we could get Jawa Report to look at a picture of Karlheinz Schreiber?
Last journalist in this country was Gordon Sinclair. Unfortunately in the years since his demise our journalistic centers of learning have produced nothing more than disciples of Goebbels.
just crap. not much else can be said.
Kudos Warwick – excellent and same goes for Antenor. Both of you expressed my very thoughts.
Kind of puts getting a pulitzer on the same level as receiving the Nobel Peace prize. All you need is a little fraud.
