issing U.S. Marine at Embassy in Beirut: "NBC reported the Navy was investigating whether his disappearance may be part of a kidnapping hoax. A Marine spokesman confirmed the Navy investigation remains open."

There are too many inconsistencies and unanswered questions in this case, don't you think? I mean, come on - they let him go free as long as he promised not to go back to the US military? Give me a break. If this was a straightfoward kidnapping, like the others, he's be sans head by now. It's great that he's alive - no one deserves to be kidnapped and beheaded - but I hope this all wan't just a ruse to get out of the military.
