Massey Day 3: AP Uncorrected

Some more people learned yesterday that Jimmy Massey is a liar, as the Houston Chronicle picked up Ron Harris' St. Louis Post Dispatch article and Britt Hume covered the story on Fox.

But AP, which has run three stories quoting without challenge Massey's debunked claims of brutality by Marines in Iraq, still has not moved a word on the subject.

Yesterday, I emailed Kathleen Carroll (kathleen.carroll@ap.org), AP's exec ed, and Jack Stokes (info@ap.org), its info officer, asking for an explanation. Neither has responded.
