ALBANY, Ga. (AP) - In a Sept. 11 story about military retirees' reaction to new documents concerning President Bush's National Guard service, The Associated Press incorrectly identified Ahmad Majied of Albany as a former Navy SEAL. Majied assisted SEAL teams while he was in the Navy, but never was trained as a SEAL. "I should have been more specific," he said Friday.

Nice work people. The old guy totally betrayed me when we spoke, behind a “peaceful” humorous mask.

There was no possible ambiguity. He couldn’t "have been more specific" as he now claims.

The old duplicitous militant Muslim convert is a fraud without honor, disgraced and uncovered.

Master Chief, AMster at arms.

Kind of the ship's ranking "jailor" and discipline ruler.

Was in for a long time, which is good; but closest was apparently a seaplane tender that made a several WestPAC tours.

Lance Corporal in the Army?

Maybe he was prickin' boils in the medical tent?

You are to be commended. This guy is a poser just like his hero. Thanks for your effort.

Do not dispair. Charisma has a way of faking out those who appear to be sincere at heart...witness 8 years of clinton.

Major kudos to you for helping Travis & others to expose this wannabe. I appreciate your candor and being open minded.

Again, thank you. You did a service to those who "serve". You will forever be remembered in the "Stolen Honor" hall of fame. I would consider it an honor to meet with you.

Oops, I meant those who have a liberal bent towards sincerity. Sorry.

Dear Media:

For years you have claimed to be the watchdogs of democracy. By now it should be clear to you that the watchdogs have.....well......a watchdog.

Nobody ever checked on you, but soon you became lazy and complacent and eventually, your work became partisan. Now, we will perform the function for you that you perform for the government. We'll just be looking over your shoulder, making sure you are reporting just the facts.

Well, thanks, but all I did was cut and paste. The crack investigative reporter was elfman2, at the behest of REAL SEAL Travis McGee. They broke this case wide open on the thread of September 13, and AP is only now just issuing a retraction. (I ask you, who are the REAL journalists, eh?)

What number story is this now that the AP has had to correct? 3? 4?

Those are just the ones that the Pajama Brigade has actually called them on. The real question is: How many stories have been fudged, massaged, or made entirely out of whole cloth over the years to further the liberal Democrat agenda that nobody has ever called them on? Rathergate cracked the entire shell of news media bias wide open...and my guess is the credentialed journalists are quaking in their boots.
