Answer 1

Most reporters seem to have a problem naming their sources.. Whether its a story such as this one or "leaked"classified info. There are several stories that say the same thing. There also seems to be some symblism of truth:.

This could go on all day.. Now, not nameing sources is on thing, how about flat out lies printed for the sole purpose of eroding support for the war.. Look at the Associate Press and their agenda to make things look worse than they really are in Iraq.

01/26/2007\ Yesterday LGF noted the Associated Press report on the crash of a US security contractors’ helicopter in Iraq. According to the AP, four of the five Blackwater employees killed were “shot execution style in the back of the head.”
Story was false.....Four agents and numerous BW personnel saw the remains." no indication of “shots to the back of the head”.
the Associated Press reported that six Sunni Muslims there were burned alive during an attack Nov. 24 on a mosque in the Hurriyah district in northwest Baghdad.
False- Not olny are all the mosques still standing,nobody was tortured or burned,never happened..
FYI-this story was a major factor of NBC's decision to declare there was a "civil war" in Iraq..
"The news from Iraq is becoming grimmer every day. Over the long holiday weekend bombings killed more than 200 people in a Shiite neighborhood in Baghdad. And six Sunni men were doused with kerosene and burned alive. Shiite muslims are the majority, but Sunnis like Saddam Hussein ruled that country until the war. Now, the battle between Shiites and Sunnis has created a civil war in Iraq. Beginning this morning, MSNBC will refer to the fighting in Iraq as a civil war — a phrase the White House continues to resist. But after careful thought, MSNBC and NBC News decided over the weekend, the terminology is appropriate, as armed militarized factions fight for their own political agendas. We’ll have a lots more on the situation in Iraq and the decision to use the phrase, civil war."
NBC and the rest of the mainstream media apparently haven't put much thought into validating sources and confirming their stories. It's especially appalling that NBC has decided to start using the phrase "civil war," which they concede will erode support for the war, based at least in part on information from an untrustworthy source. So thats how "civil war'came into play........And I thought it was from Iraq..guess not
It's not just NBC.
Canadian Press reports that the National Post apologized Wednesday for publishing an erroneous story last week claiming that an Iranian law would require Jews and Christians to wear badges identifying them as religious minorities.

The New York Times Lies Yet Again
By Carrick on December 3, 2006
This time about the Rumsfeld memo.
As we get a chance to examine the details of the leaked Rumsfeld memo, we find that that New York Times characterizations amount to deliberate lies meant to cater to their readers on the left.
there are hundreds of these reports..

Answer 2

I was beginning to lose faith in our countrymen until I read the answers on this post, now I think there might be some hope left, as everyone doesn't seem to be brain washed into being P.C. and you folks evidently did your home work as you are 100 % ccorrect in your analysis of obama, he is a sheep in wolfs clothing, and don't ever doubt that he is as Muslim as his dad was maybe even more so, also under Sharia law he would be killed and he is fully aware of that ,yet, he takes no precautions to prevent some Muslim from blowing him up doe's he? so I conclude he is not worried, but, we should be very worried we don't know how many ignorant and uninformed people are out there and Will vote for this evil man, after all he was elected to congress, and other Muslims have been elected to our highest political offices,so lets all pray he don't get elected, and I certainly am not supporting Hillary,
