You beat me to it, sir.
Something doesn't add up though, and it bugs me.
The hostages just sitting there with zero guards, or even anyone around? - I don't buy it.
Someone had to have already abandoned the area, knowing that forces were coming.
But they didn't kill the captives first, even after they tortured and murdered another?
Hmm... Something is missing here.

I've thought this was one of those "mutual" events all along.
They killed the only American. (not that the other "peace-keepers" would have condoned that)
The press release from their organization was just too pat - released quickly - no thanks to the troops - in fact they attacked the troops in the release.

There is a precedent for this. Thomas Hammill, U.S. contractor, escaped in May '04 after he was left unguarded.
