The forth installment of a five part series:
Didn’t Happen
The events he described never occurred. There were five reporters embedded in his regiment, one of whom, an AP reporter named Ravi Nessman, knew Massey during that time and saw virtually everything Massey saw.
After reading Massey’s version, a confused Nessman said, “When (the Marines) were driving into central Baghdad, they were cheered.” Nessman was one of two AP reporters with the regiment. An AP exec later admitted but could not explain why AP had not contacted their own reporters who were there — or the Marines Corps — to corroborate or refute Massey’s claims. Then they denied permission for Nessman to be interviewed further on the matter.
Under questioning, Massey slowly admitted the lies himself, backing down step by step Clinton-style until finally asserting his claims were based on “what others told him.” Not surprisingly, his alleged incidents don’t even match fictitious incidents in Al Qaeda propaganda. At least, his lies could have corroborated theirs, don’t ya think?
