Plumbing new depths

As Jed Clampett (the TV character, not the musician) used to say, "lower than a snake's belly in a wagon rut." Fox News let this guy ID an innocent family's home as the home of a terrorist. How anyone mistakes these clowns for journalists escapes me. During the Iraq war, you know, the one Bush declared over on May 1, 2003, I remember multiple times when they reported the WMD had been found. Now this:

For the last 2 1/2 weeks, the lives of the couple and their three children have been plunged into an unsettling routine of drivers shouting profanities, stopping to photograph their house and — most recently — spray-painting a slogan on their property.
... In what Fox News officials concede was a mistake, John Loftus, a former U.S. prosecutor, gave out the address Aug. 7, saying it was the home of a Middle Eastern man, Iyad K. Hilal, who was the leader of a terrorist group with ties to those responsible for the July 7 bombings in London.
Hilal, whom Loftus identified by name during the broadcast, moved out of the house about three years ago. But the consequences were immediate for the Voricks.
Satellite photos of the house and directions to the residence were posted online. The Voricks told police, who arranged for the content to be taken down. Someone even removed the street sign where the Voricks live to provide some protection.
