Flopping Aces (the mirror site) - Getting The News From The Enemy, Update

Getting to the heart of the matter (and skipping tons so if it makes no sense, uh, sorry):

This one is from April 27th of this year, the very first mention of ["police captain" Jamil Hussein] in any newspaper story I can find. If you can find one earlier then this please let me know…

The trail to this guy goes cold before April 27th. I’m hoping either Michelle Malkin, Centcom, or myself can get a response from the AP about this guy before days end. We shall see.

UPDATE IV 1715hrs PST

SeeDubya at Junkyard Blog has done some research on the writers who have mentioned this Capt. Jamil Hussein and found one common denominator…

UPDATE VI 1930hrs PST

Gateway Pundit has done some research on that other name mentioned by Centcom:

Also, we definitely know, as we told you several weeks ago through the MNC-I Media Relations cell, that another AP-popular IP spokesman, Lt. Maithem Abdul Razzaq, supposedly of the city’s Yarmouk police station, does not work at that police station and is also not authorized to speak on behalf of the IP. The MOI has supposedly issued a warrant for his questioning.

He found six stories since May where this Lt. is mentioned as the source. All of them involve Sunni’s being massacred in the Baghdad Dora district…sound familiar?

It’s looking like AP Baghdad correspondent Qais al-Bashir is the only one who can see this mysterious, non-existent “Captain Jamil Hussein”. Well, it’s not for certain yet, but al Bashir is the common element in four stories involving Captain Snuffleupagus. Er, Jamil Hussein

You know, I don’t read the wire services, and I don’t read any news site that relies on them, and if all of you people would do the same they’d either turn into a specialist unmarried-Democrat-voting-radical-war-protesting-had-a-good-time-in-the-60s-and-couldn’t-let-it-go-Jihadi-supporting-Bush-hating-razor-shunning-abort-o-tron-experimented-with-sexuality-but-now-too-busy-looking-for-a-homeopathic-cure-for-constipation news service, which couldn’t sustain itself and would shrivel and die, or they would wise the fock up.
