reminds me of ...
it was after searching.
look for yourself under his name...
i used his name and marine, saw his pic under different sources and went with it.
takes guts if he's not a muslim convert.
He does have that French look, doesn't he.
notice the name on the uniform.

In the Time interview, he acknowledges that Al Jazera is a flawed news agency.
"Rushing says he looked into the accusations about Al Jazeera distorting the news, and found nothing to stop him from joining. "I'm not condoning everything they do but the Arab media is a key part of national security and how to deal with Arab world."
"Like it or not, "Al Jazeera is the most influential Arab voice outside of mosques. It is the largest shaper of ideology," says Rushing. And if American voices are not heard in that venue, then they have no chance of having virtually any influence."

He gets to be used as a stooge for the Anti-American jihadists:
'In a time when American media has become so nationalised, I'm excited about joining an organisation that truly wants to be a source of global information," Josh said. "I witnessed during the war how the U.S. media was co-opted by the U.S. government's messaging. I am proud to be part of a news network that believes in the power of the un-spun truth."

Media Schadenfreude/Media Shenanigans PING
He better take of that f***ing uniform before doing work for the enemy, or I suspect there will be a little wet work.
I thought the Marines take care of their own.... and he's still breathing....
Well Cliff, so does CNN.
Blue Falcon indeed!
Top sends
the guy is a tarnish on our honor....
Hopefully he is CIA
What a slimy little communist ****, twinkle-toes....
..then again, it's kinda nice getting pinged...
My opinion of this guy....
..If this story is true, and he's not a mole or double agent..(which I doubt)..
..then we need to let him stay there....forever.
...become a man without a country....only he's not on a ship....
..OK, a man without this country !
That IS a pleasant thought.
He looked like a person to me. But looks can be decieving. susie
