Neat, another 'Curveball'
Is not enough to describe the one who believes this hypothesis.
He was abducted, nuance. And he is being tortured probably to death so the CIA/Mossad can squeeze all information they can from him. They also expect to provoke Iran into a retaliation.
What a bunch of... baloney.
Lol, I don't blame him for jumping ship. It's clear to see which country is more suitable to man's nature. You can always turn away from the dark side.
It takes years to confirm info from these defectors.
'around the time the group bombed the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut'
Seth Schuyler, the author of this piece, appears to know something the U.S. government doesn't, because responsibility for the 1983 attack has never been determined.
Since the rest of his piece is just a straight retelling of the Washington Post/Haaretz story, what prompted him to add that little gratuitous embellishment? Someone should tell him that Mossad is considered every bit as likely a candidate as Hezbollah.
Wonderful! (in my most sarcastic tone)
I wonder how long it will take before some of this guy's information is used as an excuse to drop bombs on Iran?
GWB wasn't kidding when he said 'I don't read history, I make it'. Germany could very well have kept control of Europe had Hitler not opened the Eastern front. I sadly believe that King George II is looking to repeat that mistake.
And even more sadly I still think he's doing a better job than that gigalo with a dishonerable discharge who ran against him could have done.
Yeah...yeah, sure. I'll go with the curve ball.
To me it seems that something is missing in this story. If he was not abducted, why not a public statement? Or did he stumble into some sort of trap, like the friendly lady with dirty vids? To believe that he woke up one morning and thought..........ahhhhhh.......why not turn myself over to american CUSTODY??? Sorry, it doesn't wurk for me.
