Who didn't see this coming? The two missing GI's have been found, apparently tortured and then brutally killed. Missing G.I.'s Are Found Dead in Iraq

BAGHDAD, June 20 — The Iraqi military said today that the bodies of two American soldiers missing since Friday were found this morning outside the town where they were captured and that the two bodies had marks showing that they had been brutally tortured.

The two bodies were found in the village of Jarf as-Sakhr, which is on the outskirts of Yusufiya.
An American military spokesman, Maj. Gen. William B. Caldwell IV, said that the remains believed to be those of the missing soldiers were spotted last night in the vicinity of an electrical plant in Yusufiya, but due to the "unstable condition" of the area they were not retrieved until this morning.

While General Caldwell provided few specifics about the conditions of the remains, an Iraqi military official, Major General Abdul Aziz Mohammed, said that they had been "killed in a brutal way and tortured.

My deepest sympathies to the families of these young soldiers. And my deepest contempt to the architects of this illegal clusterfuck and the policies that have made it open season on american soldiers.

There's a reason we signed the Geneva Conventions. It's not just to protect enemy POWs, it's to shield our own soldiers from torture and inhumane treatment should they be captured. The responsibility for this lies directly with Bush.

Oh, and a big fuck you to assrocket for trashing the uncle of one of the soldiers. I know it's tough for you, but try to show a little respect. I'll bet that dead soldier would like to kick your chickenhawk ass from beyond the grave for dissing his uncle.
