FReeper Race Bannon started this thread Thursday night, and it is now Friday afternoon and very few FReepers have seen it.
Many here at FR were skeptical of Cpl Hassoun because of the rather bizarre circumstances surrounding his disappearance.
The good news, brought by Race Bannon in this thread is that highly placed sources in the Marines have vouched for Cpl Hassoun's legitimate HERO status!

I have not seen info on this, I am curious what was the explanation for his locker being cleaned out.

I have said consistently that if anyone deserves the benefit of the doubt, its a serviceman or servicewoman. I kept an open mind about it but I hope he is vindicated and am glad most folks extended him the benefit of the doubt.

Please let me know--how is he a hero? Was he on some kind of undercover deal when he was kidnapped?

To: Chieftain

Who are these unnamed sources, remember first reports are usually wrong.
Remember jessica lynch was a hero unit it was found out she was hurt in an a vehicle crash, and her unit had failed to maintain their weapons.
Cynical until the inquiry is released.

I always thought it would be sweet justice if he were one of OUR spies tracking the terrorists' routes between Iraq and Lebanon.

HERO STATUS PING!! This sounds like excellent news, but I have to ask. What happened to have him classified a hero? Did I miss something?
