Another search through different avenues has failed to turn up AP’s source for more than 60 reports of atrocities and murders:
The AP (non-)responds and another search comes up empty.

In recent days, a handful of people have stridently criticized The Associated Press’ coverage of a terrible attack on Iraqi citizens last month in Baghdad. Some of those critics question whether the incident happened at all and declare that they don't believe our reporting.
Indeed, a small number of them have whipped themselves into an indignant lather over the AP's reporting.
Their assertions that the AP has been duped or worse are unfounded and just plain wrong.

Sniff...snifffffffffff!
I smell blood in the water!
" Hussein is well known to AP. We first met him, in uniform, in a police station, some two years ago.
We have talked with him a number of times since then and he has been a reliable source of accurate information on a variety of events in Baghdad. "
" Our only goal is to provide fair, impartial coverage of important human events as they unfold. We check our facts and check again.
That is what we have done in the case of the Hurriyah attack. And that is why we stand by our story. "
The AP has been duped? They still think we're idiots, like we don't know they're treasonous dhimmis.
" that captain has long been know to the AP reporters and has had a record of reliability and truthfulness. He has been based at the police station at Yarmouk, and more recently at al-Khadra, another Baghdad district, and has been interviewed by the AP several times at his office and by telephone.
His full name is Jamil Gholaiem Hussein. "

A NICE BUMP TO THIS.
" This story is not even about whether or not Police Capt. Jamil Hussein exists, whether the 61 AP stories that used Capt. Hussein as a source have any veracity..."

LOOK! THE AP HAS NO CLOTHES ON!!!
What does that mean? "Fake but accurate"
Like me saying I shot JFK....
AP apparently created a fake Iraqi captain...then used him in ( at least ) 61 AP stories as a source.
Walking a Beat With "Capt. Jamil Hussein"
And by the way, you remember the Nixon administration that kept you up nights? You've become absolutely Nixonian as you so liked to put it.
How's it feel to be Nixon?
