CNN Using Wrong Picture for Dead Qaeda Capo
By Rizzuto

Wed Apr 09, 2008 - The handsome devil in the picture is Abu Ayyub al-Masri and is the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq. The dead fellow's name is Abu Obaidah al-Masri who reportedly died of Hepatitis today.

I might be splitting hairs here and it's an honest mistake, but this screen cap was taken from early this morning when the story broke and last I saw they were still using the same picture on Lou Dobbs. The name in the picture and the name in the graphic below it don't even match. Sloppy...

Update: I take that back, I'm not splitting hairs. Over the period of time since Zarqawi said hello to two 500 lb bombs, I've seen Abu Ayyub al-Masri's picture enough times to have immediately recognized that this ain't the right guy.If I knew, CNN should sure as hell have know.

the problem is they have to care and CNN just does not.
