PENTAGON CRACKS DOWN ON ANONYMOUS QUOTES: Lawrence T. DiRita, the Pentagon’s top spokesman, announced that the recent use “of quotes from an anonymous Iraqi in two military news releases was an ‘egregious error.’” The Pentagon has since launched an investigation to find out how the quotes made their way into the news releases. The first quote was part of a press release from the 3rd Infantry Division in Iraq on July 13. The second was released on July 14. CNN, who picked up the quote before it was removed from the Army’s website, released the information on July 13. The sentence read: “The terrorists are attacking the infrastructure, the children and all of Iraq,’ said one Iraqi man who preferred not to be identified. ‘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.’”
