Hat Tip: Beth at MVRWC

I, for one, am still not buying it. I'd be less surprised to find the hoaxter in Berkely than Baghdad.

UPDATE: I hate being so right. Confederate Yankee uncovers the hoax behind the person confessing to the hoax. Site translation

Following is the translation of the hoaxterÂ’s apology message, written on February 2, 2005:

In the name of God, the Most Merciful and Most Compassionate,

Soldier John Adam is [only] a toy.

I am a 20-year old Iraqi young man. I am unarmed, independent and do not belong to any party or group. I apologize to all the parties and everyone, for I meant nothing by that [no harm].

The picture was a scheme that I made up with a toy that I bought with $5.

Today I am announcing that this news was made up, and that the picture was of a toy that I worked on with the help of some children.

I cannot provide any information about me because, as I mentioned earlier, I am unarmed, and any information about me might jeopardize my life and the lives of my family [members].

My apologies to everyone.
