The Meaning of 'Amnesty'
Fri, Apr 18, 2008 at 6:36:48 pm PDT
The “narrative” from this day on will be that Associated Press photographer Bilal Hussein was set free because he was cleared of the charges against him. But it isn’t so: AP’s Terror Operative Freed but Not Cleared.
As I wrote last week:
Amnesty, of course, does not necessarily equal innocence.
In fact, it normally implies guilt, but you wouldn’t know it from AP’s reports.

- Obscene, abusive, silly, or annoying remarks may be deleted, but the fact that particular comments remain on the site in no way constitutes an endorsement of their views by Little Green Footballs.
- Posts that contain phone numbers, street addresses, email addresses or other personal information will also be deleted, as will posts that consist only of a variation on the word, "First!"
- Comments that advocate violence will be cause for immediate banning with no appeal.
