Whether Jamil Hussein actually exists is really a secondary issue.
The fact that the AP used a single source for dozens of inflammatory stories about atrocities in Iraq that still have yet to find any confirmation is almost as disturbing as making the source up.

That was only a peripheral reason to go. But the blogosphere is gonna strike back hard on this story, mark my words. If this Jamil even exists, he's been feeding stringers a line of sh*t.
