Two people have been sentenced to death for capturing Staff Sgt. Keith M. “Matt” Maupin in Iraq, and the military is searching for more individuals believed to be responsible for his capture and death, the soldier’s father said Thursday.

Maupin disappeared more than four years ago, on April 9, 2004, west of Baghdad, when insurgents attacked his convoy using rocket-propelled grenades and small-arms fire. His remains and part of his uniform were found March 20, buried in an isolated agricultural region about 25 miles northwest of Baghdad.

“They’ve got some of the bad guys and they’re going after the rest of them,” said Maupin’s father, also named Keith. “We don’t want to jeopardize anything, {but} justice will be done. Show me anywhere in any religion where killing innocent people is the right thing to do.”

1. Mr. Maupin Should Read the Old Testament

It might answer his question.

"Show me anywhere in any religion where killing innocent people is the right thing to do.”

2. What I don't get is

how were the culprits found so quickly after Maupins death, which happened in, what, 2004?

Sounds like Blackwater rounded up some hapless Iraqis, and now they're about to be toast, so the Maupins can RIP.

3. The tipoff is the word "suspects" in the original headline

Kind of ominous seeing every Iraqi is probably a suspect.

4. Amazing that this little Iraqi misadventure will be dealt with swiftly

Have to make it nice and tidy for the Americans who will buy it hook, line and sinker.
Never mind that the odds of our government having the "right insurgents" is suspect and in all likelihood, a farce.
Just another illusion being peddled by bushco.
