If you think the story of Jamil Hussein....

   ....is the only problem the AP has, [1]think again. It looks like they
   might be using the same guy, with three different names, to pump out
   stories of doom and gloom in Iraq.

     If there is any chance that this Quais Abdul Raazzaq is in fact is
     also Qais al-Bashir and Lt. Maithem Abdul Razzaq then the AP is in
     for a s&^t storm they will not believe.

   That's putting it mildly. And with Michelle [2]traveling to Iraq to
   track down some of these phantom sources (and embed with our troops),
   we may be getting answers to these mysteries in the near future.
   One of the problems with "modern" reporting is the lack of context.
   For example, is Iraq a violent place? Of course. But how violent is it
   compared to, say, [3]some US cities? (Scroll all the way to the bottom
   for the stunning answer.)
   Hint: If you're worried for your safety because you live in one of
   those cities, move to Iraq. You'll be safer there.
