CURLEY (Nyuk! Nyuk! Nyuk!) ISSUES A J'ACCUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The U.S. military in Iraq has imprisoned an Associated Press photographer for five months, accusing him of being a security threat but never filing charges or permitting a public hearing.

And why the J'ACCUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? Hint: it's the 36th and 37th GRAFS:

The military said bomb-making materials were found in the apartment where Hussein was captured but it never detailed what those materials were. The military said he tested positive for traces of explosives. Horton said that was virtually guaranteed for anyone on the streets of Ramadi at that time.

Hussein has been a frequent target of conservative critics on the Internet, who raised questions about his images months before the military detained him. One blogger and author, MICHELLE MALKIN, wrote about Hussein's detention on the day of his arrest, saying she'd been tipped by a military source. [Overemphasis added]

SO -- it's those EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVIL CONSERVATIVES holding him. Most likely the only practical effects of this disclosure are that the photog will not be released, and CURLEY'S (Nyuk! Nyuk! Nyuk!) STOOGES become even more biased in their reporting, if that's possible.

Thankfully too it's 1,610 words, so no one will notice.
