Eric Boehlert starts off his article cracking on warbloggers for the “Jamil Hussein” fiasco, claiming that it imploded. Well, he’s half-right: Jamil Gulaim Innad al-Jashami embarrassed the Associated Press when I outed him as a man hiding behind a pseudonym when they swore his “Hussein” identity was real. AP has refused to discuss “Hussein” since I published that story.
Boehlert also wants to attack some bloggers for not covering Bilal Hussein and his release under Iraq’s new amnesty law, but isn’t it Boehlert himself being deceptive when he “forgets” to mention that 300 other suspected insurgents were given amnesty that exact same day, undermining his thesis that it was Bilal Hussein’s innocence, not amnesty, that set him free?
“Imploded.”
I think he understands what that word means, but not to whom it applies.
