OK, lizardoids—it’s time to do some fact-checking. Here’s the latest outrageously slanderous video to make the rounds of the moonbat sites (who eat this stuff up like hallucinogenic candy), featuring an “Iraq veteran” named Jessie Macbeth who claims to be a former Army Ranger, and alleges that the US military is routinely murdering Iraqi civilians: Army Ranger describes US war crimes in Iraq.

It just screams “phony.” LGF readers with knowledge of Army Rangers, please take a look and tell us what you think.

The video is from www.peacefilms.org, which is currently inaccessible. A ‘whois’ lookup reveals that the owner of the site is named Terry Portinga.

UPDATE at 5/22/06 8:10:26 am:

Allahpundit’s on this too: Anti-war video bogus?

Uncle Jimbo at Blackfive says it’s a laughable fake: Anti-war poseur fronted out at Hot Air.

UPDATE at 5/22/06 10:33:33 am:

Protein Wisdom: Jessie Macbeth is lying, and has no service record.
