Is there a chance in hell of that happening.....no!
Personally, I wouldn't blame a US soldier for holding a gun to the NYT reporters head to get this information.
No, but I suspect that there is a special place in hell for them.
OK look him up
The paper quoted Hassan Abdul Hadi, who said he was tending to his date palms and apple trees when he heard gunfire and explosions.
Hadi said that he walked to the road and saw an American Humvee, the Times reported.
"I was shocked to see the Humvee -- nothing seemed to be wrong with it," Hadi told the Times. "Then I heard the men shouting 'God is great!' and I saw that they had taken the Americans with them. The gunmen took them and drove away."
