Carroll: How Dare You Question Our Reporting Source

Well, the Iraqi Ministry has a rule about police talking to the press, not bloggers in America (and he never spoke with any of us or any other news organization - just the AP.) And since it was the AP that revealed his name (three different versions of it, actually) in their reporting, Carroll's ire is hilariously misplaced here. His full name is provided in an AP article here, as is the evidence that the AP has repeatedly published this guy's name - in their own ink.

I've taken the liberty of overnighting her a mirror.

In the meantime, there is still the little matter of sorting through and nailing the AP for changing its stories by Hussein constantly, quietly and significantly until those new stories on the wires barely resemble the original stories. Still no comment from the Carroll regarding this. You can read 40 of those stories here, with some questions about each one.

Hence, Jamilgate, Round 2.

So what about them, Carroll? Got any indignation left to explain the wildly inconsistent and unverifiable reporting that led to the questions about Hussein's existence in the first place?

Didn't think so. I smell a possible print-version of Green Helmet Guy.
