You have to think it's a prank. If they really tried to pass this off as legitimate, then indeed the terrorists are running on fumes at this point.

"Our mujahadeen heroes of Iraq's Jihadi Battalion were able to capture American military man John Adam after killing a number of his comrades and capturing the rest," said the statement, signed by the "Mujahedeen Brigades."
John Adam. Fucking brilliant.

In other news, Ronald McDonald has been captured by terrorists and will be beheaded if their demands are not met!

The way the article is written, it's almost like they're not ready to say it's a toy.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - The U.S. military said Tuesday that no American soldiers have been reported missing in Iraq after a Web statement claimed that an American soldier had been taken hostage.
The authenticity of the statement and photo could not be verified, and Staff Sgt. Nick Minecci of the U.S. military's press office in Baghdad said "no units have reported anyone missing."
The posting, on a Web site that frequently carries 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.
But questions were raised about the authenticity of a photo purporting to show a hostage with a gun to his head. The figure in the photo appeared stiff and expressionless.
Liam Cusack, of the toy manufacturer Dragon Models USA, inc., said the image of the soldier portrayed in the photo bore a striking resemblance to a military action figure made by the company.

Others did the footwork, but the original terrorist site this was posted on. All you need is their IPP number and a program like Net Trace.

And Dan, terrorists host web sites in the US all the time. That doesn't mean a thing.
The alnaeda web site that used to be the big site to follow post 9/11 sprung up on servers in Dallas, LA, and I think Baltimore as well at various times.

You know, it probably makes me sound like a coward or something but I agree 100%.
Not that I'm a *weak* person, but I'd rather be at home barefoot & pregnant than subject myself to the possibility of being taken as a POW...and I'll never understand women with apparently that much testosterone to want to do so.
:nerd
And I was just fishin' to see if that was him, Spurm....I jack pictures all the time. :lol

I still can't believe those bastards are holding G.I. Joe hostage. All this time we thought we were fighting terrorists, and it was really Cobra.
Zarqawi was photographed planting the flag of the AQ movement today...

We're actually going to run this story about the toy being taken hostage in tomorrow's University Star. I just sent the wire story to be dropped on the page.
Fucking hilarious.
