One more time, gang: no editorials unless you post them in "Opinion". The 'Burg, pages 1, 2 and 3, is for news and snarky comments therein.

Also, provide us with a category: don't leave it blank or else we editors will find a place for it on our own.

I appreciate the sentiments expressed, but put them in Opinioin. T'anks.

#4  Do we remember this from 2004?

There are unconfirmed reports that a soldier from the Tri-State kidnapped in April in Iraq has been killed, WLWT has learned.

Pfc. Matt Maupin, 20, of Batavia, Ohio, a member of the 724th Transportation Company, was captured April 9. His convoy was attacked by gunmen using rocket-propelled grenades and other weapons.

According to military representatives close to the Maupin family who spoke to WLWT, sources are reporting that the Al Jazeera TV network has a videotape of Maupin being shot.

The military has not changed Maupin's status, and the report of his death has not been confirmed.
A tape showing Maupin being held by guerillas was released about a week after Maupin was reported missing.

#1  Not only that but why should any country adhear to the GC and treat our men humanely if there is no downside? If we will treat theirs humanely no matter what?

Al-Q regularly targets, beheads, tortures, and kills civilians with impunity because they are not being held accountable. Why should they stop when , even if they are caught, they get treated like royalty at Club GITMO?

(Also I think this belongs on the 'Opinion' page :).
