Just … DAMN!
Why is it that when US troops capture terrorists and treat them gently, according to the pansy-assed Geneva Convention all of the human rights groups start screaming “torture”, “abuse”, etc.?
Yet when the terrorists capture, torture and mutilate our troops news agencies like Reuters devotes three paragraphs to the killings and then quickly spends the next THREE PAGES of the report covering suicide bombings and other terrorist killings in Iraq? Bias? Or just plain BULLS**T?
I extend my deepest sympathies and regret to the families of Privates Tucker and Menchaca. There WILL be payback for this atrocity. Count on it.
Two U.S. soldiers Missing In Iraq Found Dead
Tue Jun 20, 2006 7:19am ET17BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Two U.S. soldiers who went missing south of Baghdad last week were killed and their bodies were found in an area where a group linked to al Qaeda said it had abducted them, an Iraqi defense official said on Tuesday. “The two soldiers were killed and they were found in Yusufiya near an electricity plant,” Major General Abdul Aziz Mohammed told a news conference in Baghdad.
He did not say when the soldiers were killed nor when their bodies were found. The U.S. military had launched an intense search for the men involving 8,000 U.S. and Iraqi troops. The Mujahideen Shura Council said on Monday it had kidnapped the soldiers—Private Thomas Lowell Tucker, 25, from Madras, Oregon and Private Kristian Menchaca, 23, from Houston, Texas.
The two went missing at dusk on Friday after an ambush at a checkpoint in Yusufiya, a town in an area south of Baghdad some Iraqis call the “Triangle of Death, which is an al Qaeda stronghold. Another soldier was killed in the attack. The deaths dealt a blow to the U.S. military after it killed the al Qaeda leader in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, in an air strike on June 7.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
