AP's Bilal Hussein- Friendly Terrorist Collaborator

Posted By Uncle Jimbo

I have little love for the wire services and have frequently written about lies, deceit and a not-so-sneaking suspicion some were playing too tight with the bad guys. One in particular is named Bilal Hussein, who took a Pulitzer prize winning photo of an Iraqi election worker being slaughtered on a busy street. He was tipped to the event by the bad guys and did their bidding by capturing their evil for the world to see. Somehow rather than being cuffed and stuffed for collaboration as I called for at the time, he was rewarded by the journalistic elite as one of their best. Well it looks like a little justice might be in order, and maybe a ride on the Gulfstream Rendition Express. From Michelle Malkin:

"This afternoon, in response to a tip from an anonymous military source in Iraq, I contacted both the AP reporter embedded with the Marines in Ramadi, Todd Pitman, as well as AP's media relations office headquartered in New York concerning Hussein's whereabouts. No word from Pitman. But at 6:20pm EST, I received the following e-mail response from AP:

We are looking into reports that Mr. Hussein was detained by the U.S. military in Iraq but have no further details at this time.
