Did nobody notice?
Is this real?
Forsake The Troops! Official Website
The website claims that the webmaster was killed for the opinions expressed on his website. A Google News search returns nothing.
Apparently this Michael Crook guy found a digital camera belonging to a military person at a NFL game and decided to hold it for ransom. There are pleanty of media refereneces to that incident. He then registered some inflamatory domain names to further his infamy. You would think that the media would notice if he was murdered.
Update: Finally a link on Google news. The Marine Times are backing my hoax theory for now: Marine Corps Times - News - More News
Update 2: Mr Crook's blog (not worthy of a link) confirms that he is indeed a liar.
