I was waiting for someone to post this after I heard it on Fox News. I am curious as to the whole story still.

Not all of us. I was supportive of the guy at least untill he was charged.

Now we know.

Thanks for the follow-up. It appeared he had some assistance with his desertion, but what do I know...?

Brett did remind us that after our troops got in Fallujah, they did find some items belonging to Hassoun.

I keep refreshing Fox's website hoping for an article and keep having to look at Scott Peterson.

If he was involved in faking a movie of him being a hostage and he tried to perpetrate a fraud like that on the US military, he's guilty of much more than desertion. I'm curious to learn more about what personal effects of his were found in Fallujah, and what he was really doing there.

As long as we're getting these follow-up reports, maybe Brit and Fox News can tell us what's going on with Sandy Berger these days too.

I agree....there are many questions. Brett did add at the end of his televised report that the desertion charge would be followed up with a court martial.

So far they have not returned to the story and it's not on their site yet.
