A.P. Iraqi reporting based on fraudulent sources

I recently wrote a post based on an A.P. report of Shiite militiamen burning 6 Sunni worshipers alive. Now it turns out that the A.P.'s source for that report was fraudulent, and that the incident never happened.
Once upon a time the Associated Press was a respected news organization. Now it seems that they are just a propaganda arm for the Jihadists and Terrorists. This type of reporting is irresponsible and leads the public to false conclusions about the War on Terror.
The Associated Press has done the American people a disservice with this kind of propaganda reporting, and they're not alone. The so-called objective media has painted public opinion on the War on Terror into a corner. News outlets, pundits and politicians have called the war in Iraq unwinnable. The comparisons to Vietnam are everywhere.
If we pull out of Iraq before the Iraqis are both ready and able to take responsibility for their own security it will be a disaster for the Middle East, for the War on Terror, and four our security at home. And the blame will lie at least in part to our enemy's willing accomplices in the media. Particularly those accomplices in the Associated Press.
