 On January 30, 2007 Conservative blogger Bob Owens of the Confederate Yankee, (one of the three bloggers that started the controversy) stated that he was considering revealing the complete full name of Jamil Hussein Should I "out" Jamil, revealing his real, full, and complete name? "The Case for Outing Jamil?" Confederate Yankee 30 January 2007  Owens asks Do you trust the single policeman hiding behind a pseudonym who lied to his superiors about his involvement with the AP, and who lied about other key elements of this story? Or is it much more likely that the dozens of involved American and Iraqi soldiers, policemen, and fire department personnel are telling the truth?  Owens apparently believes that any possible threat to Hussein's life (by naming him as Sunni reporting about Shiite atrocities) may be outweighed by the possible elimination of what Owens feels is a untrustworthy source.  Owens goes on to say that he is leaning against the outing of Hussein and asks his readers for their views.
