AP's Foreign Stringers: Even More Clueless Than The AP Itself, If You Can Believe Such A Thing

Allah digests a Michael Yon interview with AP's stringer in Baqubah.

His command of the facts, and of elementary journalistic standards, is quite astounding.

And these are the guys AP relies upon for 90% of its reportage in warzones like Iraq, Afghanistan, Gaza and Lebanon.

As Bob Owens notes, the AP actually has a supposed real reporter in Baqubah, and yet he still hasn't gotten around to covering the massacre.
