Ex-Marine Says Public Version of Saddam Capture Fiction This is an interview with someone who claims to be an "ex-marine".  His name is Nadim Abou Rabeh, and he is giving interviews where he says he was part of the group who captured Saddam and he wasn't in a spider hole, but was in a nice house. The blogosphere is on the case, and it seems that there were no major Marine units in Iraq at the time that Saddam was captured. The last Marines to leave Iraq left at the end of September '03, and they didn't return until January of '04. Also no one can find anyone by that name ever was a Marine.  Seems there are lots of online tools for checking that. I wonder how many in the "Main Stream Media" will fall for this? 9:25:44 PM

Ex-PM: Hezbollah rally in Beirut a massive hoax Exiled Lebanese leader says Syria used foreigners, coerced workers The giant Hezbollah rally that drew nearly half a million purported supporters of Syria's occupation of Lebanon actually was a staged hoax with non-Lebanese citizens, Syrian workers, students and municipal employees coerced into joining the protest, former Lebanese Prime Minister Michel Aoun told WorldNetDaily in an exclusive interview this morning.

"But the protest wasn't what it appeared to be. It was an elaborately staged affair." 10:17:08 AM
