This is terrible journalism. The blogger relays an anecdote that Al Qaeda is baking and serving children for dinner--an astonishing assertion that is of course widely picked up and disseminated by the likes of Rush Limbaugh. Then the blogger writes in an email, "Whether the story of al Qaeda baking children is true or not, I do not know." How irresponsible can you be? As Yon explains in his email,"I included an anecdotal report from an Iraqi official here in Baqubah about al Qaeda baking boys and serving them to their families. I made no further comment as to the veracity of the report, which readers will see had very few specifics." Well, why let the facts -- or lack thereof--get int he way of a good story? Shameful! The political bias behind his phony reportage is revealed in his remarks that, "However, in the context of al Qaeda savagery, the evidence of which is seen daily as our soldiers clear Baqubah and other areas of Al Qaeda, the report is not surprising."
