Simply outrageous. Bias is one thing. Lies are another.

we have AP journalists with reporting and images from the actual neighborhood

All right then, where are the images of the burned Sunni bodies.

"because one of the sources is not on a list of people approved to talk to the press."

That's a beautiful lie. The Iraqis say he doesn't exist at all.

They flipped it to make it seem they have a special source.

It's very simple, let the "witnesses" show exactly where this action took place and then they can run test for the presence of human blood, burn marks on the rocks or concrete and traces of Kerosene.

Reuters, AP, NYT, CNN....Green Helmet Guy is Every Reporter. He belongs to the Ages of Journalism, lost in the mists of Pulitzer, the Sire of Rather, the Mother of Lies.

It seems rather simple. Someone would have picked up the bodies of the six that were burned. Nobody claims that the bodies were carried off by the perpetrators. No bodies in the morgue, no death records = no atrocity.

Residents there have told us in detail about the attack on the mosque and that six people were burned alive during it.

I remember a number of years ago about a big story in South Carolina about the "lizard man." Everyone in the town had seen it or knew someone who had seen it, media came from all over the world to report on it. Bottom line: never existed. AP reporters in iraq are local stringers, and they latch onto the gossip and report it as fact.

Crossed trained huh?

I guess they still think the masses listen to their every word. All the while they are sinking into oblivion.

Ms. Carroll needs to get some new talking points. Her response is eerily similar to her response to the lack of positive reports from Iraq in August 2005. Back then she claimed it was easier to find out the number of dead than how many schools were built. She discounted the facts on reconstruction as nothing more than government propaganda.

It's a good thing the AP is standing behind its sources and its story. Otherwise they would be overcome with the stench of lies emanating from the piles of crap disguised as news reports.
