Curiouser and curiouser The latest on Jamil Hussein Flopping Aces Posted by Curt on January 9, 2007 at 10:15 AM I've been in touch with Bill Costlow (the CPATT (Civilian Police Assistance Training Team) representative) since he has been back in-country and I have a few interesting developments on this story. First, the AP story: Ministry spokesman Brig. Abdul-Karim Khalaf, who had previously denied there was any such police employee as Capt. Jamil Hussein, said in an interview that Hussein is an officer assigned to the Khadra police station, as had been reported by The Associated Press. But guess what Bill just confirmed? Brig. Abdul-Karim Khalaf never acknowledged that there was a Capt. Jamil Hussein assigned to the Khadra station, he confirmed to the AP that there was a Capt. Jamil Ghdaab Gulaim assigned there. Apparently he is the source for the AP even though he still, to this day (according to Bill Costlow), denies being the source. So what do we have so far? That the AP has lied again in their response. The AP specifically stated that Brig. Abdul-Karim Khalaf acknowledged Jamil Hussein exists when he did no such thing. He acknowledged a completely different name the AP gave him but not a Jamil Hussein. Then, the AP's source denies he is the source. Bill updates: The AP has been citing Cpt Jamil Hussein Gulaim. The police officer's actual name is "Jamil Ghdaab Gulaim". Apparently the AP accepts this as the source in question (see their article and also en.wikipedia.org I guess the real answer here is that if the AP had used his correct name to begin with, the MOI could have responded faster. I think many people are also missing something here: When a police officer tells a reporter that six murders have occured and the bodies were taken to a non-existant morgue, investigators want to know why -- this has nothing to do with cover ups, as some media reports seem to insinuate -- the idea of hiding a mere six killings in Bagdad is laughable. He further updates when questioned about his possible arrest: I don't see CPT Gulaim being charged with anything -- he denies speaking with any media and the AP isn't pushing the issue here. So is the Jamil Hussein saga really over? I think not. UPDATE I have asked Bill to double check and triple check the fact that Hussein is not in this guys name at all since the ramifications of it not being in there is huge. It's a huge no-no If the AP used a pseudonym without acknowledging that fact. floppingaces.net
