AP reported earlier today that terrorists claimed to have take a US serviceman hostage, and released a photograph.
Yeah, well, turns out that they appear to have captured a GI Joe. Reports do not indicate which member of the Joe team it was.
The bad news is that Destro and Zarqawi are preparing a joint statement. Maybe the “insurgents” are going to get supplied with Rattlers very soon.
The worse news is that that this really bad fake photo managed to get past all of the Associated Press’ editors and make it to print.
UPDATE: The terrorist have made other threats. Can we please start taking them seriously now?
UPDATE II: Greyhawk has sworn to bring bring our man out alive. Yo Joe!
UPDATE III: They’ve captured Sgt. Slaughter, too? Do those maniacs know no decency??
Website claiming GI capture appears to be hoax

Dude, how do you capture 3 trackbacks?! Sometimes I’m Hulk green with envy. *LOL*
Actually it’s four – one’s a double trackback (I believe to two links in one post).
Actually, it was luck. I saw the story on Wizbang, linked up and did a trackback there. My guess is that Backcountry Conservative caught me from there and linked to me as part of the coverage roundup. He gets a bazillion hits a day, so it just went from there.
No real skill on my part, I’m afraid.
