"Hamill could identify his captors. If the men were just innocently working in the fields and had nothing to do with his abduction, the soldiers wouldn't have bothered to arrest them."

Why not? Just because the men say they "don't know anything about the abduction" I wouldn't necessarily believe them. Arresting them allows them to be questioned at leisure. I don't think the soldiers believe they were directly involved, but, they might know something.

If Hamill had identified them as his captors don't you think the article would have identified them as "his captors" instead of as "men working in nearby fields"?

In fact the troops went back to where Hamill had been held and captured two of his abductors.

According to the article, they "then arrested two men working in the fields nearby".

Looks like I was a little late with my post. Should have read the rest of the thread before replying.

Yep...the best of American can do. Stepped up to the plate to get some work to save his dairy farm. My kind of hero.
