The problem was not with what the Baghdad director said, but that the liberal media turned it into headlines, for weeks, without getting any corroboration or making any attempt at getting the facts.
Heck,if we hadn't had embedded reporters to show us the truth, CNN may have aired Baghdad Bob's press conferences without comment, and those watching CNN would think we lost the war.

Plenty of freepers were whining about this, along with the "children" being held at Gitmo. Whatever it takes to make the U.S. look bad, I guess.
