Editor's note: CNN agreed not to use the full name of family members in this report at their request, due to concerns for their own safety. BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Haythem could only recognize his oldest boy from his tall and slim physique as well as what was left of his shoes. His son's head had been blown away, his body charred beyond recognition. His wife of more than 20 years was torn apart.

I uncovered the CNN source.

CNN can't suck any more than they already do...

The rest of what you said is your assumption

Yes, my assumption based on freepers callously scoffing at an Iraqi doctor who has lost his wife and son. Iraqis don't count. They're sub-human, right?

[mware]

Freedom,,,I don't know what happen but I will say this. I think every member of Blackwater recalls what happen to Scott Helvenstonhe who was once a NAVY SEAL and then worked for Blackwater. He was killed in the infamous 31 March 2004 Fallujah ambush. They dismembered him and then hung his remains on a bridge. I suspect every member of Blackwater swore to themselves they would never let it happen to them. There is a video of Scott prior to joining Blackwater on youtube.

I will not show the graphic photographs of his body after they mulitated his body.

You stated: Iraqis don't count. They're sub-human, right?

Why do you insist on making misinterpretations on what I have said? That seems rather childish. If you want a clarification, ask for one instead of continuing to make erroneous assumptions.

So you're saying that justifies killing a woman and her medical student son? I don't get you. Do you think all Iraqis are animals, and shooting them is ok?

[freekitty]

It’s the new scam. I wonder what liberal put the bug in their ear to sue?

[OSHA]

So riddle me this, CNN: Why aren’t there any bullet holes in the car? Or any signs of blast damage? If they were shot to ribbons or blown to bits, the car should look like a Swiss cheese, a burst soda can, or both.

There you go. Typical FReeper asking logical questions. :^)

Meanwhile the Dyspeptic Ungulates are lapping it up like Vegan Mother's milk mixed with organic Wiccan blessed honey.

Yup:

http://www.newshounds.us/2006/08/03/two_jordanian_freelancers_resign_from_fox_news_saying_fox_blatantly_onesided.php

Serene Sabbagh and Jomana Karadsheh, two Jordanian Freelance Producers (based in Amman) have resigned from Fox News citing “moral issues” and their belief that Fox is “one-sided”, and an “instrument of the Bush White House and Israeli propaganda.”

The text of their resignation letter can be read below the fold.

“Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2006

Dear All,

We would like to announce our resignation from Fox News in Amman. Although we never actually worked for your organization, we helped for the past three years in facilitating your work in the Middle East.

We base our decision on moral issues. We can no longer work with a news organization that claims to be fair and balanced when you are so far from that. Not only are you an instrument of the Bush White House, and Israeli propaganda, you are war mongers with no sense of decency, nor professionalism. You have crossed all borders and red lines. An Arab mother cries over the death of her child very much like an American and Israeli mother.

Arab blood is not cheap, and we are not barbarians. You ought to be more responsible and have more decency when you take one side against the other. You have a role to play and a responsibility to shoulder for the sake of your very naive viewers.

Throughout the three years we worked with you, and helped you, we thought you would develop a degree of respect to people in this part of the world. But the disdain and blatant one-sided coverage of all Mideast conflicts only highlights your total lack of humanity and bias toward Israel. Your lack of professionalism has made you a tool of ridicule throughout the world. Your inexperienced anchors with their racist comments are not only a shameful scar on the American Media, they simply represent state run Television networks in countries you despise in the Middle East.

Finally, our decision again is based on moral and professional basis and from now on we will no longer help in any Fox related matters.

Serene Sabbagh

Jomana Karadsheh”

A real “fair and balanced” journalist, it sounds like ...

[JennysCool]

See my #29. The “journalist” writing this report seems a little, um, compromised.

[JennysCool]

See #29.

So you're saying that justifies killing a woman and her medical student son? I don't get you. Do you think all Iraqis are animals, and shooting them is ok?

Murtha, is that you?

[Michael.SF.]

LOL. See my #20.

[mware]

No I am not saying it justifies any kind of murder. I am saying that they do not want to be butchered like he was and are not willing to take any kind of chance.

I suspect it is the same way with out military. I dont think very many of them would be willing to take a chance that if captured they will receive any kind of humane treatment.

[pissant]

Thanks Jenny. Great find

More MSM BS Ping

[jveritas]

Yep and the defeated liberal treasonous media wants us to believe the testimony of a liar from Iraq.

[okie01]

i won’t even read this crap. Why would i believe CNN?

There's absolutely no reason to do so. They have proven all too willing to reproduce terrorist propaganda.

And this is obviously another example of the breed. It's overdrawn and sensationalist.

Either Joman Karadsheh is a terrorist sympathizer or she is a dupe. Her editor is either a terrorist sympathizer or a dupe.

In fact, CNN is either a terrorist sympathizer...or a dupe.

Where do I get some shoes that will survive that car fire?

[jazusamo]

Good catch, Jenny and thanks for the ping, pissant. This story is reminiscent of the Time magazine original Haditha article.

[TrueKnightGalahad]

I'm glad you recognise that every Arab or Muslim should be considered a liar until his/her assertions are proven beyond doubt. A so-called "story" "reported" by a Jordanian (or any Arab or Muslim) "producer" deserves the highest scrutiny and least credulousness; recent history has demonstrated conclusively that Islamists are consummate liars and distorters of news and history who have played the leftist media like Heifetz played a violin.

Nice to see that strategy doesn't work on you. /s
