Interesting. AP-hired photographers "embedded" in Al-Qaeda? I like to see both sides, but paying a terrorist money contributes to the death of our soldiers? I hope to see more coverage on this. I might even email a question to "On The Media" and see what they have to say.

[quote=The Story]In late 2004, as the U.S. military was moving to rid Fallujah of the terrorists who controlled it, the AP wanted some eyes inside the city. It hired Bilal Hussein. He gave the AP photos of insurgents setting up ambushes and firing at Americans. He gave them photos of terrorists posing with their freshly slaughtered victims. His pictures helped the AP win a Pulitzer Prize. [/quote]

There's something very wrong with that. Very very wrong.
