Man who lied about actions in Iraq admits faking forms By David Bowermaster
Seattle Times staff reporter
Jesse MacBeth stoked opposition to the Iraq war in 2006 when he spoke out about atrocities he committed as a U.S. Army Ranger serving as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
MacBeth, 23, of Tacoma, claimed to have killed more than 200 people, many at close range, some as they prayed in a mosque. He spoke at an anti-war rally in Tacoma and appeared in a 20-minute anti-war video that circulated widely on the Internet.

Maybe some day he can run for senator from Massachusetts.He doesn't have to leave his home state....Washington is heading in the Massachusetts direction with regard to liberalism.

The maximum penalty for making false statements to the government is five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.Lash the little #@&**%$@ good and hard.

He spoke at an anti-war rally in Tacoma and appeared in a 20-minute anti-war video that circulated widely on the Internet. Trouble is, none of MacBeth's claims was true.
But..but..he lied in a GOOD CAUSE for PEACE. Any means to an end, you know. Good point about him running for Kerry's seat.

Why let little things like facts get in the way. Its the seriousness of the accusations that matters. Cut the guy some slack, already. Sheesh. /sarc

"On the road downward"I dunno ... seems to me like Jessie has the right stuff for a very bright future in Washington with Democrat politics.

Yep. He's another Kerry.

Can we get this maggot for impersonating a Ranger?
Throwing him into Leavenworth for a year or two would make me happy.

I utterly loathe and detest scum like him. He defiles those who actually went, especially those who came home in a flag draped coffin. He is a non-hacking poser. He is lower than whale feces. And I’m going to stop before I really get wound up.
