Embeds With Terrorists?

Posted at 7:16 am under The Middle East

The AP cracks me up. In an effort to provide a healthy dose of moral equivalence, they’ve apparently taken to planting photographers with terrorists.

Here’s the caption from that photo:

A Palestinian militant lies dead next to a homemade rocket prepared to be fired into Israel after he was killed by Israeli army gunfire in the town of Beit Lahiya in the northern Gaza Strip early Tuesday May 30, 2006. An Israel Air Force helicopter fired also a missile after the gunfight. At least three militants were killed and four other people were injured during the two attacks, Palestinian security and hospital officials said. (AP Photo/Hatem Moussa)

Reality check time: we all know what “militants” are. Now the question is why was an AP reporter standing next to this piece of scum about to fire a rocket into Israel? We all know where those rockets end up. Haifa, Tel-Aviv, etc. Not exactly military installations or defense centers.

Has the AP resorted to doing ride-alongs with terrorists so they can get a shot of them committing acts of terrorism and attacking civilian targets?

Really makes you wonder.
