Mystery Marine

The Marine who was once shown on videotape with a sword over his head is now denying that he was attempting to desert, and claiming that he witnessed other beheadings while he was held captive.

For now, he's being taken at his word, but an investigation is coming up.

He will have to answer why investigators found his locker empty after his disappearance, and reports that he cashed out his bank accounts, converting his money to Iraqi currency.

He will have to explain why, after announcing it had killed him, the Islamic extremist group that captured him instead permitted him to go to Lebanon, possibly to see his fiancée.

I can't wait to hear.

What story will serve the military better? What information might come to light in a trial? Stay tuned.
