'Administrative Error' in Iraq Press Release
by TChris
Is the Army's public affairs office inventing quotes and attributing them to unidentified Iraqis? This is from a July 13 press release issued by the military:
"The terrorists are attacking the infrastructure, the children and all of Iraq," said one Iraqi man who preferred not to be identified. "They are enemies of humanity without religion or any sort of ethics. They have attacked my community today and I will now take the fight to the terrorists."
This is from a press release issued by the same office yesterday:
"The terrorists are attacking the infrastructure, the ISF and all of Iraq. They are enemies of humanity without religion or any sort of ethics. They have attacked my community today and I will now take the fight to the terrorists," said one Iraqi man who preferred not to be identified.
Either the unidentified Iraqi has memorized his speech, or the Army's PR team is recycling quotes, which may or may have originated with an actual Iraqi. Strangely, the words echo language frequently employed by President Bush.
