The Incredibly Strange Graduation of the Iraqi Anti-Rabbit Police Commando Geeks
by

on Wed 20 Dec 2006 05:07 PM EST
 We’ve turned Najaf over to the Iraqis, but this little vignette (reported by the AP) makes it a bit difficult to feel enthusiastic about these forces being a civilizing influence; At one point, a small group of elite Iraqi special forces officers
wearing dark green T-shirts stepped forward with a live rabbit and
ripped it apart with their teeth. The leader chomped out the animal’s heart with a yell, then passed
around the blood-soaked carcass to his comrades, each of whom took a
bite. The group also bit the heads off frogs. Elite Iraqi forces have demonstrated their toughness by chewing on live
animals during military ceremonies since the time of Saddam Hussein’s
rule.

Curt at Flopping Aces notes that the Associated Press has quietly changed the copy of their November 28 response to questions about the "burning six" story. And the Google cached version apparently has been changed, as well. The AP angrily rejected criticism of its story about six Sunni men being dragged from prayer and burned alive after CENTCOM, the Iraqi Ministry of the Interior, and bloggers questioned the identity of "police captain Jamil Hussein," their chief source for the story. CENTCOM and the MOI say that no such person is listed as a police captain. Hussein had previously been quoted by the AP in more than sixty stories over the past two years.
