Bilal Hussein is back in the news, and I confess to not having followed this case AT ALL. Can someone give me a one-two paragraph summary of what he is alleged to have done that does not include breathless links to folks examining pictures of his and claiming they are proof of perfidy. If nothing else, it will be interesting to see what people think he has done and what he is eventually charged with, as he hasn’t, to my knowledge, been officially charged with anything yet.
I am not taking a side on this, just claiming to be too lazy to sift through all the crap from the usual suspects. It wouldn’t shock me if one of thousands of AP stringers did turn out to have been an insurgent, and it wouldn’t shock me if he is completely innocent and greater Wingnuttia has no clue what they are talking about. In other words, I really have no opinion on this yet.
And really, after learning that the military is demanding that injured vets pay back their signing bonuses, the bar is pretty high for shock around here.
