WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The U.S. military says it has "convincing and irrefutable" evidence that an award-winning Associated Press photographer is connected to the insurgency in Iraq.

The photographer, Bilal Hussein Zaidon, faces charges in the Iraqi Central Court based on the evidence, Pentagon officials said Monday.

Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell and other U.S. military officials would not say directly what charges he faced. They referred reporters to the Iraqi court system.

AP chief executive officer and president Tom Curley said the agency has "grave concerns" that Hussein's rights are being "ignored and even abused" and called on the United States to release the photographer

I'm so shocked! Not.

He was captured WITH key members of Al Qaida and had already put out propaganda against US forces in Falujah.

Axis Sally was in US custody for 2 years AFTER WWII (where she posed no threat to victory) before being CHARGED with treason.

Let’s hope so.

The AP CEO apparently has no “grave concerns” that his boy was methodically setting up American troops for slaughter. How many deaths is this pig responsible for?

This photographer should have an accident while covering a story.

AP = Arab Propaganda

[MrLee]

Surprise! Surprise!

AP will give him a raise and he’ll go on a speaking tour. He’ll be a “hero”!!!

MUSLIME!

Thanks for that posting,reading the statement by the AP. It just confirms how deeply and profoundly excited every member of the MSM is when an American soldier is killed ,or an ally is also. The AP “represents for”, the forces of evil in this world.Any doubt? This ain’t spin brother. It’s a coordinated attack.

Beware of anyone named “Hussein”, especially if they are running for President of the United States!

Since he’s in Iraq he would have no US rights. After a very mellow questioning I would turn the prick over to the Iraqi’s. Then he would have rights.
