Mitch Prothero and his secret Hizbullah sources

""“Yes, a warning came from the CIA,” said a Hezbollah internal security commander who spoke on the condition that he not be identified because he was not authorized to talk to reporters.""  Of course, this story was reported by Hasan `Illuyq of Al-Akhbar but it stated that the CIA warning came to Lebanese intelligence services.  But `Illuyq who has far more extensive contacts within Hizbullah did not cite Hizbullah sources but Lebanese intelligence services but it seems that Hizbullah sources prefer this guy, Prothero, to Hasan `Illuyq.  The has gone from the funny to the absurd to the ridiculous.  And do you notice that Hizbullah sources who talk to Prothero or Blanford sound just like US officials when they say that they "are not authorized to talk to reporters"?  And yet they are not authorized but they seek the most anti-Hizbullah and pro-Hariri Western reporters to talk to them.  (thanks Michael)
