Who said Yon embellished anything? He repeated a story told by an unnamed "Iraqi official." For all we know, the "Iraqi official" got the story third-hand. The hypothetical "propagandist" I referred to would be the person who started the story, not Yon.

My criticism of Yon is for passing it along without any attempt to verify the story -- or if he did verify it, he doesn't say so in his dispatch. That sort of low-grade "journalism" is exactly the kind of crap for which we justly criticize the likes of the NYT and MSNBC.

I try not to support CBS and the rest of the MainScream Media. I sent Yon money to support his efforts.

That's why I'm disappointed.
