Yes there is, both in the story itself at the link and at the source cited in the story: www.floppingaces2.blogspot.com

From news.bostonherald.com":
"...It has to do with the AP’s Iraqi stringers and an oft-quoted Iraqi police captain named Jamil Hussein.

Problem is, the Iraqi police say Capt. Hussein does not exist. The Iraqi police and U.S. military say an incident described in an AP report - Iraqi soldiers standing by as people were burned alive in a mosque - didn’t happen. Another AP-reported incident, U.S. soldiers shooting 11 civilians, also never happened, the military says.

When the AP was forced to acknowledge this situation, it did so in a story about a new Interior Ministry policy regarding false reports. The AP buried the fact that its own false report prompted this new policy..."
