I'm with you- I am flat out refusing to believe any story without a name associated with it. We (the people) have to force the media to be less reliant on anonymous sources.
That said, I have seen at least one story where one of the soldiers on the ground was quoted by name, so I am somewhat optimistic.

Haven't heard the phrase "16 words" since this broke... Don't worry .. I'm sure Chrissy Matthews will bring it up AGAIN

One soldier was shot in the chest (don't know if he was wearing body armor), and is reported to be in stable condition.

Hold the phone. At some point it time, it would have been advantageous for the U.S. to report what we know happened on March 19--SH and his sons were killed in that initial strike. There's a hole in your theory -- we ain't the Soviet Union -- the troopers on the scene will eventually talk. This isn't Area 51 y'kow?

Ideally, they would have been captured alive. Now we won't be getting any info
out of them. Still well worth it though.
At the least it tells tyrants, their children and associates:

""I think for the [Iraqi] population to see these two guys shackled, incarcerated and really given some harsh treatment."
Oh, yeah. Like that's going to happen. The libs would have hissy fits about torture and mistreatment of criminals. No, better that they are dead so that the ACLU doesn't find some way to get them off for having their international civil rights violated.

Next the DU people will start talking about "even if they were evil it's still the taking of a human life" (sob) Then someone they don't like, e.g. conservative, will die and they'll start laughing and dancing on the grave. Since when did Liberals actually care about the sanctity of human life? Pol Pot, Mao, Stalin (the short list) - do these fellow travellers ring a bell with these people? *hurumph*

GI is killed in ambush
The Associated Press
Tuesday, July 22, 2003
BAGHDAD A U.S. soldier was killed and another wounded Tuesday in an ambush along a dangerous road north of Baghdad in the so-called Sunni Triangle, the U.S. military reported.
.
Farther to the north, a big gun battle broke out when U.S. soldiers surrounded a house in Mosul belonging to a cousin of Saddam Hussein, according to an Associated Press Television News cameraman at the scene.
.
The soldier's death brought to 153 the number of U.S. troops killed in action since the start of war March 20 - six more than during the 1991 Gulf War.
.
Central Command in Tampa, Florida, said the attackers had used rocket-propelled grenades and small arms in the assault staged along the road between Balad, 80 kilometers, or 50 miles, north of Baghdad, and Ramadi, 95 kilometers west of the capital.
.
Both towns lie within the Sunni Triangle, so called because it is home to much of the remaining support for Saddam, who used his Ba'ath Party to oppress Iraq's Shiite Muslim majority.
.
The military had no other details on the attack, many of which have recently been staged with remote-controlled roadside explosions.
.
The APTN cameraman in Mosul, 450 kilometers north of Baghdad, said residents had told him that the Americans were at the house looking for Saddam's sons, Uday and Qusay. There was no way to confirm that report. The house belonged to a cousin of Saddam who is a key tribal leader. The U.S. military said it was checking the report.
.
The United States has offered a $25 million reward for information leading to Saddam's capture. The rewards for Uday and Qusay are $15 million each.

Either way, the troops who had to go in at the end are magnificant, and deserve all our praise.Couldn't agree more with everything you said there. Just heard that this op came from a tip from an Iraqi, which could be huge in its implication.
Also just heard that it was Task Force 20 (Delta) and Seal Team Six which performed the operation, lending a huge degree of credibility to the value of the intel.
