#3 Tommy Franks telegraphed this one over a week ago, in a news briefing. Here's the question and response:

Q: Paul Robertson of the Daily Mirror. Can you tell us anything about the British soldiers which are missing today? Are they now prisoners? And if not, what are you doing to try to help find them?

GEN. FRANKS: Actually, I won't talk about the Brit potential missing troops any more than I would talk about the specifics of our helicopter pilots or of the youngsters in this maintenance company.

I will say -- and I've seen speculation in a number of places -- that a coalition like this would take action, where action is appropriate, to secure the release of people who are taken prisoners. I think you can go back a long, long time in the history of warfare, and you'll find that to be the case. And so we'll just have to wait and see what the days ahead look like.

I blogged about it at the time. So I'm feeling pretty full of myself right now.
