I don't care as much about this dopey fake SEAL, as I do about the AP accepting his clearly bogus "five years as a SEAL in Viet Nam" story without fact checking.

And worse, when suspicions were raised to them, they told us to shove it, they were standing by their story, based on the word of the lying fake SEAL.

To me, the real story is the AP's use of obvious liars to fit their bias in a story.

At least, with the power of FR, we were able to "out" the lying dirt bag in a few days. Compare that to Dan Rather's lying Viet Nam vets horror story special from 1988. Those lies stood unchallenged for years, pre-internet.

I have a feeling the AP won't be ignoring Free Republic anymore.

Hey folks, they corrected the obvious lie about Majiid being a SEAL, but they left intact the smears from Majiid against President Bush (e.g. "playboy", etc.) - please write Elliot(sp?) Minor and ask him to verify that Majiid had any knowledge of President Bush...
