Prothero is back: reporting from his "sources" in Beirut--not known if they were paid like the men who played paint ball with him

"Hezbollah sources in Beirut..."  When you read this in any Western article, stop reading.  You know that the rest is fabricated.  I mean that.  And later further he cites:  "One Hezbollah commander said..."  This makes me wonder: are the sources and the "commander" one and the same or are they different?   Of course, one Hizbullah "commander" cited before by Prothero turned out to be a local crook in the southern suburbs who goes around talking to journalists (for a fee) as a "Hizbullah commander".  It is a hilarious business, if you think about it.  But that is not it: Hizbullah sources then decided to divulge more dangerous information to Prothero:  "While Hezbollah sources denied that Daqduq was being run directly by the militant group while he was in Iraq, they suggested he had been effectively seconded to an Iranian Revolutionary Guard commander while he was operating in Iraq."  The "sources" then told Prothero that Hizbullah is a terrorist organization and that the US should bomb their cells everywhere.
