According to CNN, the US military essentially plagiarized itself when it recycled a quote from an, ahem, anonymous source, an Iraqi, who reacted to the news of the latest insurgent strike with anger, saying:
'They are enemies of humanity without religion or any sort of ethics. They have attacked my community today and I will now take the fight to the terrorists.'
As opposed to an anonymous source who reacted to a strike a week and a half earlier by saying:
'They are enemies of humanity without religion or any sort of ethics. They have attacked my community today and I will now take the fight to the terrorists.'
John Aravosis can only muster this bit of sarcasm: "US military caught making shit up? Heavens, no! It just can't be possible. What a world, what a world..." (Americablog)
