Does this mean we've won? Terrorists in Iraq are reduced to kidnapping toys and pretending they are soldiers being held hostage. Here is the original story, "Iraqi militants claimed in a Web statement Tuesday to have taken an American soldier hostage and threatened to behead him in 72 hours unless the Americans release Iraqi prisoners. The U.S. military said it was investigating, but the claim's authenticity could not be immediately confirmed.
The posting, on a Web site that frequently carried militants' statements, included a photo of what that statement said was an American soldier, wearing desert fatigues and seated on a concrete floor with his hands tied behind his back. The figure in the photo appeared stiff and expressionless, and the photo's authenticity could not be confirmed."
Backcountry Conservative has more details as does LGF, while wizbang tracks the media reporting that this was a hoax.
