Is the story about the British soldiers in Basra being discussed on Air
America at all?

The two dudes who were apparently dressed up as Arabs, and were captured, necessitating their "rescue" by British military from an Iraqi prison?

1. Tom Hartman brought it up but he didn't mention
what I think is the most important part, which is that they were wearing traditional Iraqi dress and had anti -tank (?) weapons and the questions which THAT raises. Sometimes , it seems like the people on Air America will only go to a certain point and not beyond. (They don't want to be seen as "conspiracy theorists or they are getting to close to the truth) Except for Randi Rhodes.
