Stupid, Scary or Both?

Al Qaeda Link To Iraq May Be Confusion Over Names

How do you get Lt. Col. Hikmat Shakir Ahmad confused with Ahmad Hikmat Shakir Azzawi ? Of course I see the same names in a different order. But when you are going to use something as evidence for invading and occupying a country ... when you are going to travel the nation telling "the people" that there were clear links between Saddam and al Qaeda ... would you not be behooved to have the facts straight and names verified?

I am going to go out on a limb and say that not only is this some of the most IGNORANT crap I've ever heard, it borders on being racist! Hikmat Shakir Ahmad/Ahmad Hikmat Shakir Azzawi, Mohammed/Abdul, Tyrone/Jerome ... Same thing - right?
