Ixnay on the Iraqi crispy critters. This is what happens when reporters never leave the hotel: AP became fond of quoting "official spokesman" who weren't, and never ventured out to look at things themselves. In the end, they became dupes.
Excellent work from Flopping Aces. Please go to his site to read of his investigation, and the Centcom letter to AP, in full.

UPDATE:
Michelle Malkin has more, as does Gateway Pundit.
UPDATE II:
Centcom requests another retraction from AP for a different story.
pretty bad.. I couldn't figure out which part of the content of the Centcom letter..nm.
