    Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun was required to return to Camp Lejeune by noon Tuesday, but did not report for duty in a motor pool, said Maj. Matt Morgan, a spokesman for the 4th Marine Expeditionary Brigade.
    Cpl. Hassoun was still missing at 3 p.m. yesterday, Maj. Morgan said.

Any adults in charge of this guy's case? What the heck was he doing anywhere outside of a brig in the first place? Will await his postcard from Lebanon or whatever dirt patch he hails from.

I suspect he went over to the other side, and they talked him into staying in place so they could get inside information. Oops...no one bought his bogus and pathetic "kidnapping."

Here's hoping the feds let the guy think he wasn't being closely watched and followed, and they're giving him rope to hang himself with, (or to find out who his cohorts are). It's unimaginable that they'd just let him slip away into the sunset.

What, nobody remembers the tune, let alone the words, to 'Danny Deever' anymore? Or, just not enough guts to play it?
