US GI hostage story and photo faked; MSM falls for it--again
Looks like this was a fake, now that we've seen the photo, and kudos are due to A Small Victory, Wizbang and Free Republic for calling it.
It looks like this was a GI Joe-type doll on sale on the internet. Note the face, plus the gun and the fact that you don't see anyone's hands in the photo.
In addition, the Pentagon has verified that no soldiers are missing presently.
Score another one for the new media, as the MSM gets scammed again.

Looks like my Ebony Ken Doll to me........and I beheaded him myself about 2 weeks ago. I'm thru playing with Oreo Barbie.

How in the world did you get yourself set up as a google news source? I did a search for this story to see if the MSM had picked it up yet. And got you. Take a screenshot and you can prove you are now MSM...
