This stuff is nothing more than an Iraqi insurgent propaganda video. They got their hands on his flash drive and turned it into propaganda for their group. That isn't even Spc Lee's voice. This is total propaganda and you bought it hook line and sinker.
I swear you hippies get more and more desperate to spread anti-war crap. You guys will post anything that has an anti-war message, no matter if it is truth or fiction. Stop being spoon fed crap and do a little investigating of your own. You will come out looking less like a moron.

A simple search done on Tucker. He is not listed by the DoD as a casualty.

It could be fake, it could be real.. this is the internet after all, one link says hes KIA, the other says hes alive... when he shakes my hand & shows me ID, I'll believe he's alive.
The content of the video is what I found interesting, well produced nasty footage... but besides that the data relating the KBR et al is accurate. But I'll tell ya what, lets say this is a hoax.. these "fake" comments about the quagmire & KBR et al mirror those by a confirmed real guy, Sgt Steve Pink, from the film "The War Tapes"... so perhaps theres some truth to the fakeness.
Speaking of fake, the US .gov is a well known producer of bogus propaganda.. 3 senior CIA officers have confirmed Bush knew there were no WMDs:
http://www.salon.com/opinion/blumenthal/2007/09/06/bush_wmd/The downing street memo confirms info was cherry picked to fit the war agenda, and the minutes from Spain show Saddam was willing to leave to avoid war. Everything el jefe Bush said about existing WMDS and the dangers of Saddam staying in power were fake.
The Bush admin, like Clinton, even plants fake reporters in the WH press corps to ask scripted fake questions so that the fake reporter can plagiarize a few pro party fake stories. This fake reporter, "Jeff Gannon", was well qualified by republican standards; Gannon is a known male prostitute.
And if the fake reporters aren't being effective, the .gov simply produces it's own fake news that local outlets happily broadcast.

If being against an illegal war started by a liar who spun fake low budget fictional drama about a WMD boogie man, so he could make a sad attempt at playing "Army" while his pals get filthy rich makes me a hippie, so be it.
