New Photographer in Iraq accused of insurgent ties

The U.S. military says it has "convincing and irrefutable" evidence that an award-winning Associated Press photographer is connected to the insurgency in Iraq.

The photographer, Bilal Hussein Zaidon, faces charges in the Iraqi Central Court based on the evidence, Pentagon officials said Monday.

Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell and other U.S. military officials would not say directly what charges he faced. They referred reporters to the Iraqi court system.

It would be interesting to see what the "convincing and irrefutable" evidence is, but something tells me we will never know. At this point, I'm not even going to guess if he is guilty or not.

I am fairly sure he will be convicted though. His case never would have made it too court unless the US military was confident of winning.

New "Charge him or release him" was AP's demand
So they charged him. Just won't let anyone know what the charges are.

The U.S. military plans to seek a criminal case in an Iraqi court against an award-winning Associated Press photographer but is refusing to disclose what evidence or accusations would be presented.
