Was His Kidnapping a Hoax

Color me skeptical, but my crap detector has been ringing incessantly since late last week - he was executed, no he wasn’t, and then he was released and found in Lebanon, but we still haven’t seen him and we’re only hearing this from his family? Please. So I wasn’t too surprised to learn that the FBI is investigating the possibility that USMC Cpl Hassoun was not actually kidnapped.

The U.S. Embassy said Thursday it has “credible information” that a missing U.S. Marine is in his native Lebanon, and the military said it was investigating the possibility his disappearance was a hoax.

There have been several contradictory reports about the fate of Marine Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun (search) since he went missing in Iraq more than two weeks ago.

Two FBI agents met with the Hassoun family in the United States for about 20 minutes Wednesday afternoon. The agents were not there to deliver any news to the family, but instead were sent to determine where the family was getting its information about Hassoun’s whereabouts, agent Kelly Kleinvachter said.

There’s a whole lot more to the story linked that I didn’t want to copy here. Go read the whole thing. It’s a weird, weird story and while I’d like to believe the best, I can’t help but catch the distinct whiff of fishy-fish. Something definitely smells rotten in Lebanon or wherever he is.
