I wonder how many more causulties we are going to suffer as a direct result of the Turks not allowing us to send out troops throught their territory to launch a Northern Front?

Seems we could airlift enough, though, right? Or is Turkey still denying us airspace?

Fox and MSNBC need some balls.

They both just said they have video tape of the al Jazeera interviews but won't show them because
they are too disturbing.

Has anyone seen it mentioned on CNN yet?

BAGHDAD, March 23 (Reuters) - Iraqi television showed film on Sunday of at least four bodies, said to be U.S. soldiers, and five prisoners who said they were American.

Two of the prisoners, including a woman, appeared to be wounded. One was lying on the floor on a rug.

They were the first U.S. prisoners known to have been taken by Iraq. The prisoners were questioned on air and gave their names, military identification numbers and home towns.

The bodies and prisoners were shown on Iraqi television, relayed by Al-Jazeera.


Fox news saying there manner and uniform consitant with American.

Yeah...they appear to be with the 507th Maintenance Company...according to the interviews of them I saw on Aljazeera streaming site

Aljazeera showing the dead bodies of the apparent American soldiers now.

Burns are evident on the bodies...wounds...an apparent bullet wound? Blood on the floor

iraqi's do not treat prisoners well. Didn't these people who started this war read up on the iraq/iran war? Iran still has not got back all their POW's

Interview with survivor:

"I was told to come here...I'm following orders."

When asked if he was here to kill Iraqis, "No, I fix broke stuff. I'm told to fire only when fired on. They fired first so I fired back."

He's from Kansas.

If it's true, it's not that crazy. AL Jazeera broadcasts from Qatar, which obviously supports the US effort.
