Iraq's Interior Ministry Confirms Existence of AP Source Jamil Hussein
An Iraqi police officer named Jamil Gholaiem Hussein is going to be arrested for talking to the press. Apparently, talking to the press is forbidden if
you are an Iraqi soldier -- it must be one of those new "freedoms"
now provided in Iraq.
What is significant about Jamil Hussein is that some conservative pro-Iraq War bloggers actually believed Jamil Hussein, a frequent Associated Press (AP) source, might not exist. Recent news reports (see here and here) indicate that not only does Jamil Hussein exist -- even the Iraqi government has now confirmed his existence -- but that he is going to be arrested for talking to reporters.
Alist blogger Michelle Malkin was even planning to take a trip to Iraq
to "to investigate the Associated Press/'Jamil Hussein' story." With this latest news Malkin's "big story" may no longer need investigating.
