12:06 AM | NYT will report captives were executed

CNN - aaron brown is saying the NYT tomorrow will have a report that some of the POWs were summarily executed, probably publicly.

"When this word gets out, it's hard to control the troops." Gen. Wesley Clark.

Brown said the story will change things. "People will be outraged."

[Mr. Mulliner]

We have a pretty good idea what kind of effect this news will have. Fence sitters will jump off the fence pretty fast and coalition troops will be out for blood.

Here's another story reported yesterday.

MARINES OUT TO AVENGE BLOOD OF 'EXECUTED' GIS

All people that were paying any attention already ARE outraged. Idiots who stand in the way of the US after this should be shown no mercy.

[fhayek]

Did anybody have any doubts that this was the case?

Did anybody have any doubts that this was the case?

No doubt whatsoever.

I saw the video, and it jumped out at me, immediately, that the soldiers, at least 3 or 4 of them, had been executed. In fact, some looked like they had just been executed at the facility where their bodies were being held, the blood had flowed freely from their wounds onto the floor. A body that had been dead for any amount of transport time wouldnt bleed like that.

Makes you want to eat Republican Guard flesh raw....I mean that.

This the Bush hating NYT reporting this story. If this IS true, from now on, WE TAKE NO PRISONERS! NO war crimes trials!

[CrimeOf73]

How should this be interpreted? Is the Times commanding its liberal followers to stifle their criticism and allow the US to take off the gloves?

[egarvue]

It will be VERRRRRY interesting to see "where" the NYSlimes reports this; I doubt this will be on the front page, above the fold where it should be. Those communists will probably bury the story next to the classified ads.

I have a feeling these words are taking on meaning for a new generation:

Mine eyes have seen the glory
Of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage
Where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning
Of His terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.

Time to pound their skulls into dust.

[Licensed-To-Carry]

Nuke Em, don't wait another minute.

[RummyChick]

I knew it was going to happen but i hope the parents have been notified before NYT puts it out

[blam]

It's already posted on FR somewhere.

[AF68]

No quarter for the Saddamites!

[tomahawk]

Find the Ba'athist beasts and exerminate them.

[teletech]

I pray for the two women who are still missing from the toops that were captured. I shudder at their fate.

Me too, me too.

[RummyChick]

This article is not clear to me. Are they trying to indicate that the ones that were alive are now dead or that the ones that were already dead may have been executed
