Couldn’t Help But Notice (121807)

To retailers who insist on calling this the “holiday season”: Merry Tossmas (HT to an e-mailer).

Gateway Pundit chronicles six bogus stories from Iraq in six weeks.

How many of these would have been caught without people like Michelle Malkin and so many others bringing attention to this, plus milbloggers and embeds staying on top of things? When the history is written, I believe the media monitoring that went on here will be seen as a very significant, paradigm-changing development.

Related — In Fallujah, Michael Totten portrays a dedicated practitioner of journalistic malpractice (HT Instapundit) — which is why it’s important that Totten is there.

This is outrageous:

Jurors in Dallas, Texas, were not able to produce verdicts for the four defendants who were leaders of the former Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development — an Islamic charity. Another defendant was acquitted on most charges, but jurors were unable to reach a verdict on a separate charge — resulting in a mistrial on that count. But then came the revelation that juror William Neal was sympathetic to Hamas, and apparently misled U.S. prosecutors about his neutrality in order to get on the panel.

Perjury charges, please.
