The Pulitzer Prize for Felony Murder, part 2

December 10, 2007 Posted by Scott at 6:13 AM

Two years ago we dubbed the AP's 2005 Pulitzer Prize for spot photography in Iraq the Pulitzer Prize for felony murder. In a column for Pajamas Media, Jim Hanson calls it the Pulitzer Prize in terorism and reviews it in the context of the trial of Bilal Hussein (Hussein was a member of the AP team recognized by the 2005 Pulitzer Prize). Hanson quotes Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell:

“We believe Bilal Hussein was a terrorist media operative who infiltrated the AP. MNF-I [Multi-National Force Iraq] possesses convincing and irrefutable evidence that Bilal Hussein is a threat to security and stability as a link to insurgent activity.”
Hanson's column lends support to John Hinderaker's comments yesterday in "The trial of Bilal Hussein."
