It’s amazing what some of the MSM will do to make Zarqawi’s death look like anything but a victory.

Blue Crab Boulevard tips us to how the AP is basically turning the victory into a low-level war crime.

In a completely new low for journalism, the AP elevates a baseless charge by a supposed eyewitness who refuses to be named, hides his face from the camera and who’s story cannot be verified by anyone into a screaming headline. Never mind that the allegation is so far-fetched that only a complete fool would even listen to it. Never mind that the allegation directly contradicts the fact that Iraqi units were first on the scene.

I think we can answer the question “Whose side are they on?” pretty well right now.
