I wish this hoax had been perpetrated by al queda or some other well-known group. If it had been, that would have been proof enough that the 'insurgency' is broken-backed : If they have to resort to kidnapping toys, they obviously aren't much of a threat any more. This group Mujahedeen Brigades is described as "little known"-which means it might not be terrorists at all, just some Iraqi kids goofing off , trying to see if anyone would fall for it. And wasn't the MSM eager to believe the story! It made them happy to believe a US soldier was in imminent danger of beheading, just so it would hurt GWB.
If Mujahedeen Brigades is a true terrorist group, they'd better run-they've exposed every terrorist group in the area to ridicule. Let us hope that the other groups don't deem it necessary to commit real atrocities to make up for the ridicule.
