As I recall, the AP interviews with Tojo and Hitler were outstanding, and those ride-along photos snapped from atop SS Major Joachim Peiper's tank during the Battle of the Bulge all deserved Pulitzers:
That [Bilal] Hussein was captured at the same time as insurgents doesn't make him one of them, said Kathleen Carroll, AP's executive editor."Journalists have always had relationships with people that others might find unsavory," she said. "We're not in this to choose sides, we're to report what's going on from all sides."
Hussein must have gotten a promotion while in jail. The local stringer photographer is now a journalist in good standing with a major cooperative of American newspapers and broadcast stations.

Rational thinking indicates that they will stop taking Johnny Jihad prisoner because gaining information by interogation will be impossible or difficult at best because of McCain's 'sensitivity' to the enemy's feelings and not wanting to 'look' bad to the rest of the world doing so.
McCain just drove another spike into his '08 campaign.
