Another Soldier Missing or Captured?
Per the excellent site casualties dot org we have another one of our kids in a missing status (since 14 September):

http://icasualties.org/oif/default.aspx

I've not seen any other information about this. If this Soldier/Marine is tortured and on video per bush's guidelines (I pray it does not happen) will bush's base blame Clinton? Will bush's base even care? After all these Soldiers/Marines are volunteers, most likely would die in a car wreck here and would fake their PTSD after discharge (all conservative talking points/values.) Members of free republic do not care about this American, they are too busy planning their next barbecue. It must suck being a chickenhawk.

1. No they will use the usual pretzel logic...
since they torture us we need to be able to torture them so they won't be able to torture us anymore.

2. You are 100% correct Dare,
i've been waiting for something like this to happen. I do have a question? How long has it been since we've had a solider captured in Iraq or Afghanistan, i can't remember the last time.

3. Probably because...
they dare not let themselves be taken alive. They know the score, you can bet on that.
