MANY Iraqis lie to survive.
- Michelle Malkin, New York Post
Malkin, just back from her week-long trip to Iraq as an embed, continues to attack the Associated Press and attempts to rebut its November, 2006 story about Shiite militiamen burning 6 Sunnis alive in the Hurriyah district of Baghdad by providing very weak anecdotal
Just how Malkin determined that 'MANY Iraqis lie' has yet to be determined since she provides absolutely no proof to back up that smear.
This is a story that the warbloggers refuse to give up on and, despite the fact that dozens of bodies are found tortured and dead in Iraq every single day, they choose to pursue this one with a radical fever that belies common sense or understanding.
Malkin: "...at least one story he told the AP just doesn't check out: The Sunni mosques that as Hussein claimed and AP reported as "destroyed," "torched" and "burned and [blown] up" are all still standing. So the credibility of every AP story relying on Jamil Hussein remains dubious."
AP: The mosques were "torched", "bombed" and "burned".
Who's the real liar, Michelle? The AP didn't say they were "destroyed" and you, of course, refuse to even mention the reported 18 or 19 deaths of the people (including women and children) who perished that day as a result of those attacks. Not only that, you actually confirm what the AP reported with your desrciptions and pictures of the mosques.
Malkin lost the fight when she and CENTCOM continued to insist that Jamil Hussein didn't exist and now she's grasping at straws and strawmen to try to restore whatever credibilty she seems to think she had by concluding that Iraqis are liars - as if she has the moral authority or evidence to make such an assertion.
It's all quite pathetic.
