I've seen three names for GHG. Abdel Qatar, Abu Chadi, and now Salam Daher. I wonder what his REAL name is.
Bullsh**.
L
Wonder if Lebanon even has a funded civil defense program?
Watch him get busted.
GHG "No, it's not true I work for Hezbollah. I work for more sophisticated terrorist propagandists: Al Reuters and Al AP.
Green Helmet Guy...proudly spinning Islamoganda since 1996!
This is scrappleface, right?
What an amazingly one-sided "article" that follows no journalistic standards. The only criticism is in the form of a question to Green Helmet about his actions as noted by bloggers and amazingly HE DENIES THE CHARGE! I couldn't believe it. I figured he would crack under the pressure of the AP's relentless pursuit of the truth. (/sarcasm) The article then lets Green Helmet spew his story with no challenge.
But what is so insulting about the article is the fact that NO AUTHOR IS CREDITED! This allows the AP to fire their propoganda and then hide behind the anonymity of this article. Just like the Hezzies firing and then blending into the crowd.
F*&K the AP (and Reuters while I am at it)
Oh, yes, it's very dangerous. No time to dilly-dally around the site setting and re-setting the scene... It's tough work taking those bodies into the ambulances and then taking them out again to display for the cameras, then putting them in again, then taking them out again...
Why doesn't this article have a byline? I've been looking and I can't find it. Do we know who wrote this drivel? Adnan Hajj, is that you???
Is this the same guy?
You see him on the TV...everywhere he seems to be
Always where some people die...he is known as Green Helmet Guy
If a building has been hit...he will be all over it
He's always where some people die...and he is known as Green Helmet Guy
He'll appear out of the blue...he seems to know what to do
Always where some people die...he is known as Green Helmet Guy
Lebanon is his home base...he has such an honest face
He's always where some people die...and he is known as Green Helmet Guy
Hezbollah is needing press...so he'll show up and looked distressed
Always where some people die...he is known as Green Helmet Guy
There is a drone above his head...omigosh, he will soon be dead
He'd always been where people die...we will miss the Green Helmet Guy

Wow! Hours of digging in the blistering heat & he has no dirt on him at all! How stupid do they think we are?
Daher, a member of the civil defense for 20 years, has been photographed with bodies of the dead in two wars now - first in 1996 and most recently with the baby on July 30 -- both times after Israeli attacks in the village of Qana six miles southeast of the city.For that reason, some Web sites have labeled him the "Green Helmet," and accused him of being a member of the Hezbollah guerrilla group, ...
No! Not for that reason. We don't accuse him of working for Hezbollah because he was filmed twice. We accuse him because he plays a key role in staging lies for Hezbollah.
This is a bold face lie and misrepresentation of something that any competent reader of the blog reports on Green Helmet guy could now.
A typical and cheap rhetorical trick. Misrepresent the position of ones opponent in an indefensible manner, then ridicule it.
