I'll wait for a reputable news source and reporter

FOX News's take:

Do you think AP made this up? Most other sources get their news from AP.

I'm with you on this, in re waiting for a "reputable source".

From article: was conducted by nine to 12 militants posing as an American security team, according to two senior U.S. military officials as well as Iraqi officials. They traveled in black GMC Suburban vehicles _ the type used by U.S. government convoys _ had American weapons, wore new U.S. military combat fatigues, and spoke English.

"Militants". Perhaps, of the ideology of we "support our soldiers who shoot their commanders"?

Qassim Abdul-Zahra is a very busy boy. He seems to be the AP's lead reporter on every story in the last to weeks. Either by himself or with another reporter, I've capped his byline from at least a dozen stories this week.

This is the guy who wrote the account of the civilian helicopter crash for AP. He quoted at least four anonymous sources in six paragraphs. I have searched the usual places trying to find out who he is, but he may as well be Jihil Hussein Iraqi police informant for all I've found out about him. It is highly suspicious that this one guy has stories in Canadian Press, LV Sun, Reuters, etc. In one week? I DON'T THINK SO...AP IS PLAYING DIRTY POOL AGAIN.
