Former Marine Staff Sgt. Jimmy Massey was the liberal media's dream come true: An anti-war Iraq veteran who came forward to publicly lambaste the Bush administration and accuse American troops of murdering innocent civilians.

Massey only used his lie to sell books and DVDs. I know of someone who used pretty much exactly the same lie to get his sorry ^## into the United States Senate.
And he keeps getting returned, which is even more amazing to me - the US is filled with sheeple that only listen to the MSM for their daily intake of "news". This is why I fear the 2006 elections.
A real Marine needs to have a long "talk" with that pu**y!
God DAMN a traitorous Marine!!
Uh huh....
But heck, a former Army medic could probably do the job as well...
Look for this guy to be marrying way above his station in life, and running for Congress or the Senate in about 15-20 years from now.
Who knows, he might be running for President some day, say 2040 or so.
BTTT.
With "soldiers" (and NCO's especially) like this who needs Al Qaeda???
...or ANY traitor as far as I'm concerned. It is up to us to damn him and others of his ilk so let's get busy.
FReepmail me if you would like to be added to, or removed from, this ping list!
My latest column follows up on the lies of Jimmy Massey and his media enablers.
Doug Struck, the Washington Post reporter who covered Massey's bogus testimony at Army deserter Jeremy Hinzman's Canadian asylum hearing last year, has not responded to my e-mail inquiring about any follow-up.
USA Today reporter Rick Hampson, who wrote this March 2005 feature, did respond. Here's his e-mail:
I personally have no plans for a follow up. Our story was not so much about the veracity of Massey's claims -- few if any of those mentioned in the Post-Dispatch piece were in our story -- as the reaction in a small, patriotic town to its former Marine recruiter coming back as a war protester. (We also went into Massey's psychological history.) Certainly, he had a lot of critics/opponents/skeptics in town even back then. So I don't expect we'll revisit the subject.
David Holwerk, editorial page editor of the Sacramento Bee, which published this interview with Massey last year by a freelance anti-war writer, told me he didn't know when or if the paper would respond to the Massey debunking.
All in all, the MSM's reaction has been a collective shrug. Not that anyone who remembers Giuliana Sgrena, Eason Jordan, Linda Foley, Newsweek's Korangate, etc., will be surprised.

Jim Hoft is on Jimmy Massey's trail and notes that Massey is now attacking Harris.
Laer Pearce is still after AP:
Yesterday, I emailed Kathleen Carroll (kathleen.carroll@ap.org), AP's exec ed, and Jack Stokes (info@ap.org), its info officer, asking for an explanation. Neither has responded.
Christopher Fotos is watching the Washington Post.
