AP Blows! (Zazi/Al-Queda Connection Story)

(9 am. – promoted by ek hornbeck)

Remember all those stories about how Najibullah Zazi (the ‘New 9-11 Bomber’) had ‘direct contacts’ with yet another Al-Queda Number Three?

Not so true after all.

They were all based on faulty reporting by Associated Press Reporters Adam Goldman and Brett J. Blackledge.

The initial report, from New York, on Oct. 14 was based on AP’s misinterpretation of a series of telephone and e-mail exchanges between an AP reporter and two U.S. intelligence officials. The officials told the AP on Thursday that they had not been aware of any contact between al-Yazid and Zazi. They spoke throughout on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation.

Shame on you assholes.

  1. Told ya so!

  2. They are not very professional the past 4-5 yrears.

  3. …from the git go.  The timing w/ all the troop increases to Af-Pak was the indicator.

  4. Let’s just look the other way when considering that ALL military-based information RELEASED to the press HAS to be cleared through high level government intelligence first to “prevent the accidental release of classified information”… like LH says, DUH.
