(2003-11-21) — The first annual Associated Press-New York Times Award for Ingenuity will go to Iraqi “insurgents” for their “clever” use of animal carcasses, donkey carts, children and blackmailed civilians in their rebellion against the “U.S.-led occupation.”
“We were just charmed to death by the ingenious ways these freedom fighters have found to make their political statements,” said a spokesman for the AP-NYT award committee. “Their surprising tactics are reminiscent of the Taliban and the Palestinians. The Iraqi insurgents render homage to the creators of the genre, without being mindlessly derivative. It’s refreshing to read of their daily innovations.”
