Breaking News from ABCNEWS.com:

AN AL QAEDA LINKED GROUP HAS RELEASED A VIDEO CLAIMING THEY HAVE KILLED THREE U.S. TROOPS MISSING IN IRAQ SINCE LAST MONTH

An Iraqi insurgent group says it has killed two missing American soldiers who they said had been captured alive. According to a full translation of a ten-minute video released by the group earlier today, the group claims the soldiers would have survived had the U.S. Army not done the search in such a way that included random arrests and humiliation of Muslims. The speaker in the video also said the bodies of the soldiers will be buried and not turned over to the US Army.

The group Islamic State of Iraq posted the videotape on the Internet today showing what it said were the military ID cards and other personal items of the two U.S. soldiers believed to have been captured last month in Iraq.

The tape does not include any images of the two soldiers, Byron Fouty, 19, of Waterford Mich., and Alex Jimenez, 25, of Lawrence, Mass. Words in Arabic flashed over the IDs say, "Bush is responsible for capture of your soldiers."

There were no ransom demands or further details about the status of the two men who have been the subject of a massive search operation by U.S. troops in Iraq.

1. "...random arrests and humiliation of Muslims."

The time honored tactic of collective punishment.

2. Fuck them and EVERYONE who makes those monsters stronger.

Not shutting down al-Qaeda when we had them cornered in Afghanistan was the single greatest dereliction of duty in American history since James Buchanan ignored the Civil War starting.

Pay taxes? Are you part of a political constituency that supports imperialism for massive profits?

None of us is innocent any longer, my friend.

4. Not to be picky, but did ABC change the title?

"Al Queda Linked" is nowhere in the piece except in the OP title. :shrug:

edit to add: Okay...I see it on the home page as "breaking news". Looks like the "AQ Linked" headlines sell.
