mnischalke 0 #33 July 22, 2003 From what I heard, one Iraqi informant said the sons would be in that house today and that was all she wrote. $30 million is a lot of money. I fully expect him to feed starving children and help rebuild a library or something with it. If it were a Marine or soldier who dropped the dime, that guy would have had to raise a mighty big stink in the media before he'd ever see a penny of it.

AggieDave 6 #41 July 22, 2003 As a side note, have you ever read "Force Recon Diaries 1969" or "...1970"? Two very kick ass reads written by a Corpsmen assigned to 3rd Force Recon in Vietnam.

tbrown 26 #49 July 22, 2003 QuoteI hope we got 'em, but I'd rather they be captured alive. It would do the nation a lot of good for them to be seen in shackles and tried in an Iraqi court and sentenced to death During World War II there was a huge policy debate in Washington and London about what to do if American or British soldiers encountered Hitler in person. Should they just shoot him, or try to take him into custody ? They decided to try and capture him alive, if possible. It would've been a good thing if they could've captured Hitler and put him on trial, but of course things didn't work out that way. (Nowadays of course the Saudis would offer him a comfy exile...) But it sounds like the brothers wuz killed in a firefight. They should've known better, or maybe they preferred dying that way to having to face the Iraqi people in open court.
