Neither do I. If they heard about the successful snatch of four Berg killers through ind. sources, (after all, the snatch would have depended on intelligence, which could be sold to many players), the French would release the info just to screw up the successful interrogation of the prisoners. That is, they would try to force the prisoners to be shown and accounted four. Successful interrogation at this point would depend on their arrests being unconfirmed, so that they can be taken to a remote dungeon and worked over by experts.
And in such a case, results would be superior, because with four related prisoners, you get to compare stories. If they don't agree about every detail of their past month, every minute factoid about Zarkawi, another digit comes off.
I'm talking hardball here. If we're not tough enough to play in the Arab Leagues, we should pack up and go home now, and save further casualties.
