outfoxed at The American Prospect

here.

OUTFOXED. Fox News' anointed military expert Joseph A. Cafasso appears to be a fraud. He had claimed to be a retired lieutenant colonel in the Special Forces, but it looks like he never actually made it past 44 days of boot camp. Fox continues to defend his analysis and reporting.

We're not sure of the date of that piece, it says May 5, but we can't find the year. In any event, I haven't seen Fox News defending their using him as an analyst once he was 'outted' as a liar and a fraud, it appeared as though they were embarrassed that his fraudulent claims were so vast. As a result of his behavior, a measly four months was all he worked at a mere pittance of about $200 a week. Now people complain that there is no evidence of his having worked at Fox on the Fox website. Instead, Robert Greenwald and George Soros' moveon.org, welcome him as an odd cause célèbre because he has a story to tell that is in line with their politics and the goal of discrediting FOX as 'not journalism'. At least he actually lived the FIRED FROM FOX BECAUSE HE'S A FRAUD story! As opposed to 'being on a barge in the North Sea' before swooping in to save Katrina victims in Louisiana, killing a 14-year-old during Vietnam, a war he never fought in, or saving his burning comrades off a burning C-130 during the Iran conflict, etc.,etc.
