Plame/Haditha and Matt Cooper

Should Patrick Fitzgerald decide to continue to pursue the 2 counts in the Libby indictment even though the Judge has found impeaching evidence in Time’s documents, I suggest Libby may want to use this evidence of Cooper’s journalistic malfeasance to further impeach him.

The Haditha Scandal’s Other Casualty

With the Pentagon completing its probe into whether U.S. forces massacred civilians one November morning in Western Iraq, the damage to America’s image abroad could take a further hit

By MATTHEW COOPER/WASHINGTON Posted Friday, May. 26, 2006

In the original version of this story, TIME reported that “one of the most damning pieces of evidence investigators have in their possession, John Sifton of Human Rights Watch told Time’s Tim McGirk, is a photo, taken by a Marine with his cell phone that shows Iraqis kneeling — and thus posing no threat — before they were shot.”

While Sifton did tell TIME that there was photographic evidence, taken by Marines, he had only heard about the specific content of the photos from reports done by NBC, and had no firsthand knowledge. TIME regrets the error.

Sweetness & Light adds:

Never mind that now “one of the most damning pieces of evidence” has already taken on the mantle of historical fact. Time regrets the error. So much so that they once again buried the correction at the bottom of its online archive of the story which few will revisit.[snip]

Time can always sneak in a retraction later when nobody is looking, once the story has “gotten legs.”

[STARWISE]

It's now an MSM precept: if it can hurt Bush, it's OK to color the truth. I hope the Libby team punishes Cooper so hard with blistering interrogating that he drops 20 lbs. a week just from flop sweat.

Thank you for the ping. Cooper is a direct link to the Hillry connection in sewing the seeds of divide and conquer, while the first woman preens as a supporter of our military and this stand against the uncivilized masses of terrorists. Sure got to wonder if she is the hidden brain of the Wilson/Plame workings???

Oh liberals your deceit and dishonesty is obvious and transparent.

[STARWISE]

The conspiracies and personal agendae are mindblowing. Thanks.

Thanks for the ping!

This should be exposed every time the word Haditha or Anderson Cooper or Scooter is mentioned.

In the original version of this story, TIME reported that "one of the most damning pieces of evidence (turns out to be nonexistent) investigators have in their possession, John Sifton of Human Rights Watch told Time's Tim McGirk, is a photo, taken by a Marine with his cell phone that shows Iraqis kneeling — and thus posing no threat — before they were shot."

While Sifton did tell TIME that there was photographic evidence, (HE LIED, as there is NO such evidence found) taken by Marines, he had only heard about the specific content of the photos from reports done by NBC, and had no firsthand knowledge. TIME regrets the error. (yeah sure you do!)

FAKE but ACCURATE in the NEWS.

[freema]

Disgusting, isn't it? Gotta go feed the troops : ) Back later....................

[Sacajaweau]

Absolutely right....Cooper is directly linked to Hillary. His wife Mandy is Hillary's best friend, media advisor and Bubba's former campaign manager.

Just imagine it being your first week as White House reporter...and coming up with the biggest "phoney story" of the year.

The fact that Fitzgerald asked to extend his scope idicates a change of plans as far as HOW to puursue this.

So did Fitz look at what he had and then ask to extend his scope. Sounds like Plan A (outing an agent) just wasn't going to work.

Sand in his eyes??? Me thinks not. More like dollar signs...a big fat promise from the Dems.

Valerie got hers via a book deal and probably a very nice retirement package. Somehow, I don't think she will stay with Joe forever. She didn't need him before and needs him less now. She's paying his way!!

"Time regrets the error."

ROTFLMAO. IMO Time is about to regret lots more than their many "errors". Hint to Time: if you know it's a lie, it's not an "error" and this is all going to blow up in your face.

I'd like to extend a huge thank you to Tim McGirk and John Sifton for all they have done for us in helping to bring about the absolute, final, permanent end of Time. It will be a while before the actual death rattle sounds, but I'm pretty sure it's on the way and McGirk and Sifton have played a huge part.

Gotta go feed the troops

Give them a big THANK YOU and a hug for me!

[Just mythoughts]

I imagine that the political schooling of 'Watergate' for the first woman, has served her well in her wild rampage against her enemies of the first order, 'conservatives'.

This whole 'legal' donkey and cart show has the Hillry earmarks through and through!!! Isn't Fitz from Illinois, Hillry's place of birth???

[Sal]

Ooops. Shoulda included that slob Cooper in my thanks. Goodbye, Time. Goodbye Sifton, McGirk and Cooper. Good riddance. Get 'em, Scooter!

"Time regrets the error

Isn't that Libby's line?

Thanks for the pings...this is amazing.

Lots of folks are going to be eating crow, once the facts are placed out on the platter and it is found the Marines stayed within the ROE.

The possibility of a U.S. massacre of Iraqi civilians could have major ramifications.

The possibility of a U.S. massacre of Iraqi civilians could have major ramifications.

The writer clearly understands that just the allegations themselves may damage the U.S. and that he is helping that cause.

BTTT I will ALWAYS assume our men are honorable!

[syriacus]

From the link you provided:Tim McGirk of Time ... spent the first Thanksgiving after 9/11 in Afghanistan dining with the Taliban

I wonder who "guaranteed" McGirk's safety as he dined with such a bloodthirsty bunch.

John Sifton of Human Rights Watch

Human Rights Watch is a Soros-funded organization:

Cynically summarised, Human Rights Watch arose as a joint venture of George Soros and the State Department.

Google-ize "Human Rights Watch" Soros... you'll be amazed!

[STARWISE]

Their rep is on NOW on O'Reilly!!! She almost cried at a hearing for a terrorist when he said the hearing was illegal .. whattacommiepinko RAT witch ... she's so sickened that these people are getting proper adjudication. She forgets they'd slit her neck in a second. Soros' spreads his $$ far and wide.
