quote:
BURTON -- A woman was shocked to learn Friday that a photo of what appeared to be her old driver’s license showed up on an Islamic Web site along with a claim that she had been captured in southern Iraq and slain.

Dawn Perryman, 43, who lives in this community near Flint, found out about the Internet posting after a reporter from The Associated Press called and talked to her husband about the claim.

So how in the world did her old driver's license end up in Iraq? [Dont Know]

I see 3 possibilities, each of them being stupid conspiracy theories, made up because of the lack of attention in this thread.

1. The person she knew that had ties to the middle east took it, and stored it for safe keeping, hoping that with time, it won't have an impact or that she'd even be dead. Even if this isn't the case, the government is still going to try to track this person down.

2. There are spies in the DMV, that picked at random her license to send over.

3. The article is a fake. In an attempt to ease the US's collective mind, the government is sponsering "People not really slain" program. It could be that the woman and the drivers license are fake, for example.
