It is a War Crime according to the Geneva Convention to fail to wear identifiable uniforms.
"He said about 30 gunmen, some wearing ski masks and baggy black pants and others in white and red checkered headdresses, mounted the ambush."

At least maybe they were already dead before they were mutilated.

It takes 30 murdering terrorists (and not insurgents I hate that word) to take two of our soldiers yet the system goes complete agog about one dead Iraqi and 6 marines and one sailor charged in the death. Bullsh*t!

It is a War Crime according to the Geneva Convention to harrass and terrorize the citizenry.
"Residents say the group was highly active in the rural area, terrorising families and forcing them to flee."

It is a War Crime according to the Geneva Convention to fail to segregate oneself from non-combatants before initiating hostilities.
"a woman was killed in an exchange of fire between the insurgents and the soldiers."
started firing at the soldiers," recalled farmer Omar Abdullah, 49, who said he was some 200 metres (yards) away.

Shame the troops did not have time to emplace any claymore mines. WOuld have evened up the odds pretty quick.
I wonder what the squad leader of these two troopers is doing right now?

I guess the claim that Zarquawi's successor killed them is bu!!$h*t.
To: TexKat
I would guess that given the known danger in the area that these soldiers were in, that some some lower ranking officer such as a lieutenant, is in a lot of trouble right now for assigning only two soldiers, without backup, in an area where terrorists were known to be present in force. Such a deployment borders on stupidity or negligence or both.

"So what do they say when torture OBVIOUSLY occurs? How do they react when two U.S. servicemen in -approved uniforms have their hearts cut out, their testicles cut off, their penises cut off and stuffed in their mouths, arms contorted and eyes gouged? THIS is torture."
This is a quote from E.D. Hill on another thread. I've no corroboration of this, but if true, it should galvanize anybody on our side to destroy the enemy without any reservation.
