   ....that [1]the AP lied about the four mosques burned to the ground.
   And eyewitness testimony that the story of six Sunnis being burned
   alive is false.

     Lt. Col. Steven Miska, commander of the Dagger Brigade at Forward
     Operating Base Justice, observed: "Part of it is, if you're relying
     on Iraqi reporters, well, what are their biases? What clans are
     they from and tribes? Why are they telling me this? What's his
     underlying motivation? And if you quote a police chief, well, those
     guys have underlying motivations, too . . ."
     "I've gone out and found police chiefs on the street and said,
     'What happened here?' Something just blew up and he told me, 'Well,
     U.S. airplanes just bombed this building.'
     "I said, 'What are you talking about? It was freakin' insurgent
     rockets that just hit the building, I picked them up on radar.' "
     But he just told the reporter on the street that U.S. warplanes
     bombed the building and killed 13 people.

   These are the people the AP uses as "reporters" to publish their
   sensational stories about violence in Iraq. How much of it is actually
   true? Very little.
