"Lee's Life for Lies"
Most of the Iraq War's propaganda videos we've seen -- whether they're for the war or against it -- tend to be put together without too much thought behind them. "Lee's life for Lies" is a curious exception.
The desricription of this clip by YouTube uploader "tamerghonym" claims that it's "A Message from a US
soldier in Iraq Lee K. Tucker to his family. The message was found in a
flash memory after his Humvee had been attacked by the Islamic Army in
Iraq." The footage of Tucker, along with a recorded letter he wrote to his parents, implies that Lee was against the war. It also implies that he died when his Humvee was blown up.
The problem is that Lee is alive and well. And he almost certainly never wrote or recorded the letter. The footage of him and his fellow soldiers was either stolen or found, and then manipulated to make it seem genuine. (The other four parts can be viewed on tamerghonym's YouTube channel while it's still up.)
