Fabricating News?
Fox News
The Associated Press is under attack for allegedly fabricating news from Iraq. The AP has quoted an Iraqi police captain named Jamil Hussein in several stories — including one describing Iraqi soldiers standing by as people were burned alive in a mosque last month. But Iraq's Interior Ministry says it has no evidence that incident happened and that captain Hussein does not exist.
Boston Herald City editor Jules Crittenden says, "the AP is making up war crimes." He describes it as "a partisan, anti-American news agency that seeks to undercut a wartime president and American soldiers in the field." The Iraqi Interior Ministry has now formed a special unit to monitor news coverage and is threatening legal action against journalists who it believes report incorrect stories.
