Re: Two down and two to go
From www.CNN.com report:
"Officials said the bodies would be kept refrigerated at the airport until a family member comes forward to claim them"
-hi, my name is Sadamm, I want these bodies.

Re: Two down and two to go
hmmm thinking about this one all weekend.
I believe what they did there was wrong.
Excessive force.
I think that they should have been captured and put on trial.
As they would have been shown for what mosters they where.
And they would have been able to reveal all that they knew about Iraq, wmd, Halliburton etc...
hmmm... Perhaps that is why they were killed with such excessive force.

Re: Two down and two to go
Tesco, if they wanted to kill them the battle would have been over in about 15 minutes. The only reason it took so long is they were trying their damndest to take them alive and to avoid collateral damage to the neighborhood. So yes it's unfortunate they were killed and didn't stand trial, but don't try to say they did something wrong. The first soldiers on the scene didn' teven know who they were trying to capture other then it was high level officials.

Just a thought, but did you miss something Geo said earlier in this thread?

What these numbers tell you is it's quite obvious that the army was attempting to take them alive. The only way three men and a teenager could hold off 200 members of the 101st Airborne division for four hours is if they were trying to capture and not kill. Unfortunatly it didn't work out that way as the four were apparently not willing to be taken alive.
