Jamil Update

Bob Owens at Confederate Yankee asks some pointed questions to the pointy headed academics about the behavior of the Associated Press in L'Affaire Jam(i)(ai)(ay)l, and gets some answers.

Looks like the dog may be eating the AP's homework. Flopping Aces reports that in addition to maintaining radio silence, the venerable news agency now is covering its tracks.

In other Jamil developments, the intensive search has had a couple of hits, but rather than blowing a nice clean hole, the rounds splintered, raising more questions than they answered, and leading to a fair amount of speculation. None of it looks any better for the AP, however.

My earlier "No Crow, Thanks" item has some updated links, for those trying to follow this.

Still nothing from Michelle, who posted and rapidly retracted yesterday. Radio silence out of the AP itself. Meanwhile, the dog appears to have eaten E&P's original crowing article, which looks to have been subbed out by a more tentative piece as "E&P staff" mulls its own crow recipe. Because you know E&P managing editor Greg Mitchell doesn't plan to eat any himself.

AP uses this intertubes technology, but they obviously don't understand it. At least not well enough to know they will get busted every time for trying tricks like this.

People are screen shotting them at every step now and comparing google caches.

Their hubris is epic in proportion.
