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.

" 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. "
The AP has been duped? They still think we're idiots, like we don't know they're treasonous dhimmis.
