Heh!!! Think of all the "Insurgent Blasts" that were caught on 911! All
those big showy fireball pictures? Every photographer who caught one
needs a Grand Jury somewhere to probe how they just happened to
magically sense the right moment and were in the right place at the
right time with their camera looking at the right spot how many
different times?

There were a lot of photographs linked to the WTC Insurgent Blasts.

According to the Pentagon, Bilal Hussein, an award-winning
photographer, is "a terrorist operative who infiltrated the AP."
That's why he is being held in an Iraqi prison without due process.
And that's why the supposed "new evidence" that "has come to light"
about Hussein is secret.
"The military has not yet defined the specific charges against Hussein.
Previously, the military has pointed to a range of suspicions that
attempt to link him to insurgent activity," reports the Associated
Press
<http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/world/AP-Iraq-Detained-Photographer.html?_r=2&oref=slogin&pagewanted=print&oref=slogin>.
AP Associate General Counsel Dave Tomlin "said the AP has faced
chronic difficulties in meeting Hussein at the Camp Cropper detention
facility in Baghdad and that its own intensive investigations of the
case ---
conducted by a former federal prosecutor, Paul Gardephe --- have found
no support for allegations he was anything other than a working
journalist in a war zone."
Naturally, simply working as a photojournalist in a "war zone," that
is to say an occupation zone, and taking the wrong photographs is a
crime. It makes little sense that a Pulitzer Prize-winning
photographer would throw his career away and join up with the
"insurgents," that is to say the Iraqi resistance, who are considered
terrorists by the United States. Of course, such things are not out of
the realm of possibility.
U.S. military officials in Iraq did not immediately respond to AP
questions about what precise accusations are planned against Hussein.
Previously, the military has outlined a host of possible lines of
investigation, including claims that Hussein offered to provide
false identification to a sniper seeking to evade U.S.-led forces
and that Hussein took photographs that were synchronized with
insurgent blasts.
The AP inquiry found no support for either of those claims. The
bulk of the photographs Hussein provided the AP were not about
insurgent activity; he detailed both the aftermath of attacks and
the daily lives of Iraqis in the war zone. There was no evidence
that any images were coordinated with the insurgents or showed the
instant of an attack.
For the neocons in charge of the Pentagon merely taking photographs of
"the aftermath of attacks and the daily lives of Iraqis in the war
zone" is enough to keep Mr. Hussein in the torture dungeons of Camp
Cropper indefinitely.
"Even if he comes out the other side with an acquittal ---
as we certainly hope and trust that he will --- there is no guarantee
that he won't go right back into detention as a security risk," said
Tomlin.
Finally, it should be noted that the Associated Press was long ago
infiltrated by terrorists---but not the sort who wear an Arab
headdress. Don't expect an admission of guilt from corporate
executives at the Associated Press.
Operation Mockingbird "was conceived in the late 1940s, the most
frigid period of the cold war, when the CIA began a systematic
infiltration of the corporate media, a process that often included
direct takeover of major news outlets," explains Alex Constantine
<http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/RANCHO/POLITICS/MOCK/mockingbird.html>.
"Activists curious about the workings of MOCKINGBIRD have since been
appalled to find in FOIA documents that agents boasting in CIA office
memos of their pride in having placed 'important assets' inside every
major news publication in the country. It was not until 1982 that the
Agency openly admitted that reporters on the CIA payroll have acted as
case officers to agents in the field."
Most consumers of the corporate media were --- and are --- unaware
of the effect that the salting of public opinion has on their own
beliefs. A network anchorman in time of national crisis is an
instrument of psychological warfare in the MOCKINGBIRD media. He
is a creature from the national security sector's chamber of
horrors. For this reason consumers of the corporate press have
reason to examine their basic beliefs about government and life in
the parallel universe of these United States.
It appears Bilal Hussein's crime is he ran up against this determined
and long-term "salting of public opinion" with his award-winning
photographs of "the aftermath of attacks and the daily lives of Iraqis
in the war zone," images rarely if ever shown to American television
audiences.
Of course, this makes him a terrorist and a "security risk."
