Rightwing witch-hunt gets Iraqi source arrested

Here's an object lesson that isn't likely to be heeded.

Suspicious of an AP story unflattering to the U.S. and Iraqi government (and goaded by American & Iraqi officials who had everything to gain by undermining the legitimacy of the story) several right-wingers set out to locate the source, listed as "Jamil Hussein." They looked back and LO!! he'd been a source numerous times.
