Confirmation of Casualty Lies--eyewitness
MWO posted a link to that Iraqi blog guy whom the wing nuts and the ho's all pretended to worry about right before the war, which has the following eyewitness report from Mosul:


"Well, I'm telling you now- there have been plenty of casualties in Mosul during the 'gunfight' and after (in one of the wooded areas), but you'll be hearing about those in the following form: Troops Die in Car Accident in North of Iraq as Car Swerves to Avoid Crossing Sheep!"

1. Wasn't this site discredited
as some kind of hoax just before the war?

Has there been some confirmation of its authenticity?

2. It's quite credible
He even writes a column now for the UK Guardian.
