    U.S. Marine abducted in Iraq was a deserter escaping to Lebanon

    The American marine who is being threatened by his kidnappers with beheading had deserted the military because he was emotionally traumatized, and was abducted by his captors while trying to make his way home to his native Lebanon, a Marine officer said Tuesday.

    The officer, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said he believed that Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun was betrayed by Iraqis he befriended on his base and ended up in the hands of Islamic extremists.

    U.S. right wingers probably would have said that he deserved to be executed for deserting - what will they say now?

    Is he a hero or a traitor?

          I think he proves that these fucks should be eliminated off the face of the earth.
