Important comment made concerning missing soldiers

[Check12]

Many media outlets are describing the missing soldiers as having been "kidnapped"
Including a new story at rawstory.com

A point was recently made that if we are truly at war then the word "kidnapped" should be replaced with the word "captured" by the enemy and the soldiers should be considered prisoners of war.

I think it is very important to make this distinction. The soldiers should have legal POW status. Unfortunately, Rummy has made this a real problem now.

3. Wasn't it just last week some twit in the junta mouthed off about Geneva

Convention? How long before we find out what it is like without those rules of engagement? The world has been very patient with the US under Cheney, but it can't go on.

Hope America gets a posse together pretty soon. We need to clean up the gang that kidnapped, err, captured diplomacy and sane planning in D.C. The troops need us to watch their backs. The junta sure as hell doesn't give a damn about them.
