"...the attempt to question the existence of the known police officer who spoke to the AP is frankly ludicrous and hints at a certain level of desperation to dispute or suppress the facts of the incident in question."

Questioning the sourcing of this story is not ludicrous and is entirely reasonable given the msm's recent history of using many questionable anonymous sources and the apparent fabrication of the Bush National Guard documents by CBS News. We're asking an entirely reasonable question: Who is "police captain" Jamil Hussein and was his identity as a police officer ever verified with Centcom by the AP? If his identity was not verified, then why wasn't it? Obviously, so obviously, any insurgent can claim to be a police officer and feed bogus stories to gullible AP reporters, so these are entirely reasonable questions to ask. The fact that this man calls such questions "ludicrous" indicates his desperation to suppress the facts about this story, which is apparently not credible.

Is this the beginning of asking about Iraqi police captains/officers that are mentioned in articles regarding Iraq?

If so where do we stop?

Google search:police Captain Rashid al-Samaraie

Google search: police Captain Ibrahim Kamil

Police Captain Laith Hamid

Google search: police Captain Mohammed Abdul-Ghani

Why just pick this one particular person out of all the others? Who is it that is so determined to make this story false and why? Out of all that is happening in Iraq what was so special to someone about this story?

If the story was not, is not false, the real truth will never reach all that think that it is false now.
