Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun charged with desertion
Dec 9, 2004
CAMP LEJEUNE, NC -- The U.S. Marine Corps has charged Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun with desertion following a five-month investigation into his disappearance from a U.S. military camp near Fallujah, Iraq in June.

I went to the link, but can't find the story.
Please help.
That's better. Thanks.
Why would someone being charged with desertion be allowed to go on leave? This makes no sense to me. Did they think THIS time he would come back?
Sorry, there is no link; that's just the way the forum posts FoxNews.
It was just on Neill Cavuto's show just now.
He was probably kidnapped by Lebanese cousins and has been taken to Beirut against his will.

Wow...that's OUR state! You got a picture of his mug?
Why would they grant leave to someone charged with desertion? That just makes no damned sense.
Again.
Thats exactly what I thought..unless they are really following him. How stupid if they really let him go!
I am glad I am not the only one who thought that! The only thing I can think of is that he got leave approval by accident...maybe an officer new to the base, or something.
Hmmm, just caught the tail end of this report. Something strange about this guy. Suppose his Islam "buddies" don't want him talking? Wild speculation, I know.
Unless I read this wrong, I think he deserted first.
BEFORE the investigation and charges.
"he U.S. Marine Corps has charged Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun with desertion following a five-month investigation into his disappearance from a U.S. military camp near Fallujah, Iraq in June."
Is he a spy? Terrorist?
Could be they let him go on purpose (with a GPS chip in his brain)...
No, he came back and re-joined the Marines. At the time, those of us who were suspicious of him felt rather stupid. But here we are 2 years later, the Marines have brought charges, and the guy was allowed to go on leave!
