AP Kills Iraq-American-Beheaded Story

Associated Press

CAIRO, Egypt - Kill the Iraq-American-Beheaded story, V8926.
The man in the video says it was a hoax.

A kill is mandatory.

Make certain the story is not used.

The AP

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~end column~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So the "independent" leftie Vanderford did make the video as an "anti-war" (anti-defense) effort. I wonder if federal resources were used to locate him and/or confirm that?

Excuse me, but if they talked to the guy....how was he beheaded. This is just another example of the idiot media, running with anything that is anti-Bush. MM's pos-fake. Now we have the sicko's faking beheadings. Boy the fascist sure know what the media will jump at don't they.

Evidently you want to believe that it was not a hoax. Now Drudge has a link on his site stating that the FBI is investigating the HOAX. ORGISH WAS NOT WRONG AS FAR AS I KNOW. Why don't you log onto Drudge and send him an email telling him he is all wrong.

To: No Surrender No Retreat
I am perplexed as to why one would not take the fight to his captors in lieu of beheading? I would do my best to take some of the mooselems with me. What do you think?

Sounds good to me, although nobody can do much damage when tied up at gunpoint or knifepoint. My advice to Americans in Iraq would probably be - don't be taken alive. If Benjamin Vanderford is back home in San Francisco laughing about all this, I think we should bring back the draft for him only. Let him sweat it out in Baghdad until our troops leave.

did a reporter work up the nerve to call the house and ask if he was dead?? "Are you dead?" answer: "No"

The man in the video says it was a hoax
