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.

Too bad for the MSM. It is desperate to publish anything which could be demoralizing to our guys. Look who's laughing now(again) MSM.
