A week or so ago, the new Iraqi Prime Minister or Defense Minister said that they were going to show "no mercy" to the enemy.
They have captured or killed hundreds since. I wonder if the treatment of these two soldiers is a result of that campaign.

You may be right.
I think the loss of Zaraqawi might have been a fuse. He died more like a coward than a brave freedom fighter - tried to flee rather than fight to the death.
Of course, there was alot of INTEL found when they killed Zaraqawi that led to the killing/capture of many of these terrorists.
Really don't know.
Take care...
This thread is a tough one...

Thinking about it, I would doubt that conclusion. Since when have these barabarians ever shown mercy so why would a campaign against their ilk cause them to stop showing mercy that they never showed in the first place?

" I wonder if the treatment of these two soldiers is a result of that campaign."Doubtful. Terrorists don't show mercy. Also yesterday, a homocide bomber killed something like 18 people in a home for the elderly. Where was the mercy?
