And here's one of the bogus propaganda variety: story.news.yahoo.com This is another one I'd rate as a "1" on the Yahoo scale. Hearsay and opinions are not facts and this article is loaded with both. The semantic content is virtually nil as far as news or facts are concerned, but it's a good example of the type of propaganda being targeted at Americans. Hearsay from Iraqi prisoners being tortured, excuse me, I mean "interrogated" is hardly a reliable source of information. It certainly wouldn't be considered "evidence" in any court inside the United States. Likewise, anyone (including bought and paid for generals) expressing opinions in court, without a shred of evidence to back up those opinions, would also be rejected as testimony. Additional commentary about unrelated combat issues would be tossed out as irrelevant. Chubbaloui and his wingnut "Iraqi National Congress" organization would be laughed out of court. The sad part is most Americans don't stop to cross examine these type of propaganda pieces. On an emotional level, this piece would translate to "Our poor troops, the bad Iraqis admitted it, the General said it's true, and the Iraqi Congress said it's true. It must be true.". Shame on the Associated Press.
