Maybe Wassef Ali Hassoun isn't dead. From AP, :
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) - The fate of a U.S. Marine held hostage in Iraq remained in question on Monday after an Iraqi guerrilla group denied beheading Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun.The denial Sunday gave new hope to Hassoun's relatives just when there appeared to be none.
The Ansar al-Sunna Army posted the denial on its Web site in response to reports by the Lebanese Foreign Ministry that the group had killed Hassoun.
Ansar al-Sunna said the statement announcing Hassoun's death ``has no basis of truth.'' It added that ``any statement that is not issued through our site doesn't represent us.''
Lebanon reported Hassoun's death after another extremist Web sites posted a statement that claimed he had been killed. The declaration was posted yesterday in the name of Ansar al-Sunna.
Once this guy is found, the country either extradites him to the U.S. to be tried for desertion, or if they refuse, we should strip his family here of U.S. citizenship, sell their property and deport them immediately out of this country at their expense. I hope this is the beginning of the end of Muslims in the armed services. But we will be too politically correct to do what needs to be done.

The liberals will never prevent muslims from enlisting. They would prefer to hold the PC line. This Islamic problem won't go away on it's own & our politicians are not in a hurry to correct this problem in our nation.
To aid the future - consider the Constitution Party or the Libertarian Party this election year. Kerry is definately not the answer. And, although Bush is a liar (as are all politicians) atleast he had the b**ls to go after them.
we should be cautious to judge a man in uniform before the facts are in -- especially a marine!
Oh, what a surprise...freed unharmed...
