Beware, MSM... Jeff Emanuel in Da House!

I'd love to report that my previous skepticism about Jeff Emanuel's junket noble desire to report on Iraq was misguided. It was not. This Putz-linked post is nothing more than a press release for HIIDE (Hand-held Interagency Identity Detection Equipment).

Isn't this simply precious?

In order to soften the feeling of suspicion naturally aroused in the NPs by the coalition demand that they submit to being entered in such a database, soldiers often refer to the HIIDE as simply a ‘camera,’ and the National Police are simply asked to pose for a ‘picture,’ before they are subsequently asked to provide their fingerprints and other information for input. This tends to help matters, as the NPs – like most Iraqis with whom I have come into contact on my trips here – absolutely love being photographed.


That's lovely. It warms the cockles of my heart that damn near 4000 Americans have sacrificed themselves for what amounts to Giuliani Time on the Tigris.
