A question

I had intended to further develop, to study, the character of Fred McDauber yet I instead feel compelled to comment on a sad situation in Iraq.

The Mujahideen Shura Council kidnapped two American soldiers near Yusufiya in Iraq.

It seems obvious what will happen if these pawns of imperialism are not rescued immediately.

They will very likely be tortured, killed, and paraded in a video, or else used as bargaining chips to free some GI-killer.

If the former fate awaits them, who among us can claim that the Geneva conventions regarding prisoners of war have been rendered "quaint"?

Can Alberto Gonzales?

I recommend he offer to exchange his person to secure the safety of these soldiers. He should. Any ill treatment they receive can only be opposed hypocritically by policies he helped to enact.

ADDENDUM: Two bodies have been found in Iraq but not yet identified by the Pentagon. Fox News is reporting that there were signs of torture all over the bodies.
