Did Sgt. Dan Kennings die in Iraq? Not really.

Did Sgt. Dan Kennings even exist? Well, no.

So who was that little girl writing the letters?

By Ofelia Casillas, David Heinzmann and Rex W. Huppke
Tribune staff reporters
Published August 26, 2005

CARBONDALE, Ill. -- Word that Sgt. Dan Kennings had been killed in Iraq crushed spirits in the Daily Egyptian newsroom. The stocky, buzz-cut soldier befriended by students at the university newspaper was dead, and the sergeant's little girl--a precocious, blond-haired child they'd grown to love--was now an orphan.

They all knew that Kodee Kennings' mother had died when Kodee was about 5. The little girl's fears and frustrations about her father being in harm's way had played out on the pages of the Daily Egyptian for nearly two years, in gut-wrenching letters fraught with misspellings, innocent observations and questions about why Daddy wasn't there to chase the monsters from under her bed.

It turns out Daddy didn't exist. And neither did Kodee.



OH AND HERE IS THE HALF ASS ATTEMPT TO FORWARD THE STORY BY AP WHAT A LOAD OF HORSESHIT CRAP!

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW THE TRUTH TURNS TO BULLSHIT TAKE A LOOK! OFFENSIVE....

Illinois Student Newspaper Says It Was Duped by Elaborate Hoax; Girl Posed as Serviceman's Child


According to the title from AP this is about the student paper and not that someone used a child for devious purposes. The freedom of the press is really to say whatever the hell they want....



Sorry a bit of a rant I HATE this crap.

5. busheviks think like this...
it's taking candy from a baby (patriotic red blooded mom's apple pie god and the stars and stripes adoring dopes who kiss up and kick down iow bush voters, lol)...it's easy, but requires a total lack of ethics or integrity...
go bush!
hahaha!
saddam's capture was staged, including fake pics provided the pigmedia. the bush meets turkey in iraq event was staged.....bush's ranch in texas is staged...the rescue of jessica lynch was staged. 911 was staged. bush's 'mission accomplished' event was staged (and the uss abe lincoln was the setting, nudge wink) the yellow red and orange alerts that were called by homeland security was staged....the 2004 election was staged (kerry voted for bush)
ALL this staging was to entertain, amuse, frighten and instruct the fat people aka the herd. it's taking candy from a baby. easy. anyone could do it.
