Haditha Reporter Was Jailed By US, Shares Name With Source

Sweetness and Light ^ | 6.3.06

[Thebaddog]

Given the breathless coverage (actually only repetition of the same paltry facts) from our one party media about the civilian deaths in Haditha, I am surprised that we have heard nothing about the curious background of one of the first journalists to report the story, Ali Omar Abrahem al-Mashhadani, from the "restive town" of Ramadi.

It turns out Mr. al-Mashhadani might not have felt the kindliest intentions towards the US, having been imprisoned for five months mere weeks before his Haditha scoop.

Al-Mashhadani was detained because images found on his camera and because of his t"ies to the insurgents," according to US officials.

Indeed, al-Mashhadani has since been detained by the US again, for two weeks. In fact he was only released today.

The real story is starting to come out and it looks and smells more like the truth than what Murtha has been spewing.

http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/05/31/haditha/index.html This link will take you to the video put together by this supposed "Iraqi Human Rights" group for CNN. It is on the right hand side towards the lower portion of the screen. Called "Haditha Uncovered". Even by the abysmally low stanadrds of ethics of American Journalists, this is pretty transparent propaganda.

All the accusations about Hadditha come from an "Iraqi Civil Rights Group" headed by a man that has the SAME name as a Major in Saddam's secret police. Watch the video. That this "Iraqi Civil Rights Group" filmed a supposed "survivor" a boy who supposedly was shot in the back of by "out of control Marines"? Only problem. In the CNN aired video "Haditha Uncovered" the boy "healed wound" is shown. The supposed bullet hole is high in his back directly over the spine. Problem with that, if you shot someone at that point, you will shatter their spine. So the boy would be at a minimum, crippled for life. He moved around just fine on the video.

So since this so called "Iraqi Civil Rights Group" is LYING about this, what else are they lying about???

One of the MANY staged photos the media uses to manipulate the public.

ANOTHER TERRORIST MEDIA ATTACK ON AMERICA

The National Media engine of the Democratic Party knows absolutely no limits on its attacks of America. Speaking out of both sides of their treacherous mouths, these Democratic Party surrogates say they support the troops while attacking them at the same time. They will give days or weeks of airtime to fruitcakes like Murtha to spout their anti-American propaganda just to distract from the real issue that Democratic politicians are criminally collecting bribes.

It now appears that the national media water boys for the Democratic Party have stepped in it again.

While spouting day and night about U.S. Troops having "assassinated" innocent civilians, just to escalate the conflict in Iraq and kill more U.S. soldiers, they ignored basic standards of journalism. The routinely quoted innuendo and allegation as fact. Mind you, ONLY the Democratic Party innuendo and allegation that is. Their blind hatred of America and Bush is so frightening, it is only eclipsed by terrorists who hijacked several jets and flew two of those jets into the New York Twin Towers.

It's really no suprise. After all, just before the 2004 Elections, the Democratic Party released a strategy memo that talked about working through their media allies to undermine America just so they could attack Bush. http://www.nodnc.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=373.

The Democrat media knows no bounds. Today, after the military conducted a thorough investigation, it released its report demonstrating that the Marines being ATTACKED by the Democrat Media followed protocol in engaging an armed enemy who is attacking them.

This recent Reuters / Yahoo News Report demonstrates that the media was on a witch-hunt against the military for the Democratic Party. The findings make it absolutely clear that the media and Murtha for the Democratic Party are just plain LYING TO AMERICA TO SUPPORT TERRORIST ATTACKS ON AMERICAN TROOPS!

"Allegations that the troops executed a family living in this safe house, and then hid the alleged crimes by directing an air strike, are absolutely false," Maj. Gen. William Caldwell, a senior U.S. military spokesman in Iraq, said in a statement released in Baghdad. http://www.nodnc.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=593

Anyone watching this, and carefully studying it all really has to be shaking their heads and wondering why the media would go to such extremes, even with their love affair for the Democratic Party? After all, such ridiculous claims WILL cause their already dwindling audiences to plummet even further. So why would they do such a stupid thing? Then it hit me!!!

*****************************

THE DEMOCRAT MEDIA CAN NOT ALLOW ANY PEACE OR STABILITY IN IRAQ THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR A TROOP DRAW DOWN BEFORE THE 2006 OR 2008 ELECTIONS!

*****************************

After all, the Democrat media have gone out of their way to create a Civil War in Iraq http://www.nodnc.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=361 even though Iraq is safer than many major U.S. Cities run by Democrats - http://www.nodnc.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=419. Using the Democrat media logic, we have totally lost the war in New Orleans, DC, and Detroit. We should be pulling all of the police, firemen, and National Guard out immediately.

The Democrat media MUST keep Iraq unstable, they MUST keep tensions high to get more U.S. soldiers killed, they MUST continue lying to the public to advance an agenda that most rational people would think is insane, they MUST continue to misuse their positions to push their Democratic Party agenda forward. Destroying America in the process is not only acceptable, it is necessary to manipulate and deceive Americans because the United States stands in the way of implementing their documented goal of global socialism through the United Nations. http://www.nodnc.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=191

Any draw down of U.S. Troops, before the elections in 2006 or 2008 undermines the TENS, IF NOT HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN FREE POLITICAL ATTACK AIR TIME FOR THE DEMOCRATS! The THOUSANDS of hours of media air time from the various National media channels easily adds up to this. And it could all be completely wasted by Iraq stabilizing enough to begin troop withdrawals.

The Democrat Media can not allow this. So helping to incite a Civil War in Iraq, or getting more of our troops killed are perfectly acceptable ways for them to ensure that their investment in Democratic political attack air time is not wasted again.

the 5th column loves this guy...

[HitmanLV]

The real story is starting to come out and it looks and smells more like the truth than what Murtha has been spewing.

look, the Military has been investigating this for months and takes it very seriously. What makes you think they have taken leave of their senses

The MSM is whacked out in their zeal to convict these guys. Me, I'm deferential to the military: the soldiers are innocent until proved guilty, but the military clearly thinks there is something to all this, and that's after months of investigation.

[FreedomNeocon]

I'd be interested to hear what exactly has gone into the 'investigation'

Just yesterday two days ago they were "talking about exhuming" the bodies to do some forensics work, try to determine exit wounds and caliber bullet used if it was bullet wounds.

That seems like pretty BASIC info to any investigation... and if that wasn't done I wonder what was.

[HitmanLV]

Deference to the military cuts both ways. Lots of folks are willing to be deferential to the soldiers (as I am), but not so willing to be deferential to the military nvestigators (who are members of the armed forces, too).

Let it play out, that's the fairest thing.

[FreedomNeocon]

Thats all fine and good, I'm not talking about paying deference.

You seemed to indicate that the very fact there was an investigation for a few months, that there HAS to be something wrong.

I question that as a valid argument.

[P-40]

having been imprisoned for five months mere weeks before his Haditha scoop.

Michael Savage was talking about this guy last week. Interesting angle to the story.

[ThreePuttinDude]

Just yesterday two days ago they were "talking about exhuming" the bodies

Someone on another thread mentioned that disturbing a body
that has been buried is a NO-NO to the mohammadans.

Man, we just can win with these slime bags. Always new rules, or they
change the rules after we learn them....ba$tard$ all of them

[FreedomNeocon]

That is to say, there should not be a penalty to holding yourself to a higher standard.

You are correct, depending on the results, the proper action should be taken, but the very existence of an investigation indicating guilt is completely counterproductive to the basic principle of justice IMO.

[Semus Dynnen]

Awesome.

Thanks

[Semus Dynnen]

Last I heard the families had said no to exhuming the bodies.

I guess we just have to take their word for it...

[Steel Wolf]

The MSM is whacked out in their zeal to convict these guys. Me, I'm deferential to the military: the soldiers are innocent until proved guilty, but the military clearly thinks there is something to all this, and that's after months of investigation.

I think that's exactly the issue. This reporter is probably a Sunni extremist sympathizer, Haditha is definitely an extremist stronghold, and the MSM is all but researching a time machine to bring Mai Lai to 2006. Still, just because they're enjoying seeing the Marines publicly embarassed doesn't mean that anyone was framed.

There is evidence that a Marine report was falsified to deliberately mislead superiors, something that the military clearly believes happened. There's really only one reason to do that, which is why the military is investigating, and it has the propaganda vultures circling hungrily.

I really don't care what any of those other sources have to say - it's the military's response I'm watching. The other guys are biased, but that's just how it is. Still, bias or not, they may be right on this one.

[HitmanLV]

No, I am saying that the people who have been hired to investigate this have been doing so and are convinced there was wrongdoing here. They know much more about it than any of us do (that's the deference I was talking about).

That they are convinced that there was wrongdoing isn;t to say that there HAS (emphasis yours) to be some wrongdoing, but it does show that the people who know most about this (and much more than any of us) think its more likely than not that the Marines in the issue behaved improperly.

I never made the argument you suggested, so get off it. I'm saying unambiguously that the people who know most about this, and who have studied it for months, think there's something to it.

[Thebaddog]

There is an article in today's Chicago Tribune that featured one of the marines relieved of his command after Haditha. The real story on this fellow is that he was relieved for loss of confidence in his leadership and he was told that it had to do with some of his marines complaining to a British embed about something or other that had nothing to do with the issues in Haditha.

And he said that there was nothing unusual that went on that day as far as he knew. Nobody heard anything in the military grapevine about an unusual occurrence in Haditha.

[MizSterious]

1. According to several reports, the bodies have not been exhumed, and the Iraqis are unlikely to cooperate in such an effort.

2. The only "examination" was done by a local doctor with iffy credentials, and many ties to terrorist groups. He's written articles filled with hatred of the West in general, and the US in particular.

3. The only witnesses are likewise connected to terrorists (as are most of Haditha), and if you note the different interviews, the stories change a lot from interview to interview.

THIS is what the media, the 'Rats, and some even on FR, are willing to run with in the mad dash to convict these Marines.

[FreedomNeocon]

Sounds like the same argument to me.

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

We need to hammer this again and again until people realize that this is a MSM manufactured Mai Lai

[HitmanLV]

Nope - you suggested that the military taking it seriously necessitated them being guilty. I didn't suggest that at all.
