Associated Hard-Pressed

Wretchard (an always excellent blogger) at Belmont Club has been hammering the Associated Press for their uncanny ability to have a terrorist photographer on-scene to capture the assassination of Iraqi election officials as it happened. Michael Ledeen over at The Corner reports in part in an email from Tom Holsinger:

"AP may have significant civil liability exposure to the victims' families in American courts, under the legal theory of civil conspiracy. The conspiracy objective would be to give publicity to terrorists. Every person or organization agreeing to act in concert to achieve a conspiracy's goals is liable for every act in furtherance of the conspiracy.
American courts have taken jurisdiction, and awarded huge civil judgments, in far more questionable cases."
In short, a case can be made for conspiracy between the Associated Press and terrorist groups in Iraq, and that case, if brought, could potentially cost the AP millions of dollars in civil judgements and legal bills.

The mainstream media coddling Muslim terrorists: would you believe such a thing?
