"This... Is my BOOMSTICK!"

The AFP runs a photograph of an Iraqi woman, clutching bullets that the AFP claims she claims hit her house.

Note "claims", because they're bullets that are still in their cartridges.

Not that you need to go further than that, but it's not American ammunition, either.

The real question, of course, is if the AFP just made it up, or if they were simply incompetent and didn't question the story of the woman, who was deliberately propagating the story.

To express his outrage, the Dissident Frogman, a French blogger, produces Basic Beginner's Bullet Crash Course 101, an instructional video for journalists. Totally worth watching, just for the creative fun.

Update: A comment about the video:

Pay special attention to the music in the second half of the Frogman's vid. THAT is what Iraq sounds like as far as I'm concerned. That's all that the locals who drove the buses around base on Al Asad listened to ALL. THE. TIME.

Heh.
