[history]
CAIRO, Egypt (AP) -- An al-Qaida-linked group posted a Web video Saturday purporting to show the bodies of two American soldiers being dragged behind a truck, then set on fire in apparent retaliation for the rape-slaying of a young Iraqi woman by U.S. troops from the same unit.
The Mujahedeen Shura Council -- an umbrella organization of insurgent groups, including al-Qaida in Iraq -- posted another video in June showing the soldiers' mutilated bodies, and claiming it killed them. It was not clear whether the video posted Saturday was a continuation of that footage, or why it was released.
It was impossible to identify the bodies, but the footage was believed to be of Pfc. Kristian Menchaca, 23, and Pfc. Thomas Tucker, 25, who went missing after being attacked by insurgents on June 16 at a checkpoint south of Baghdad. Their remains were found three days later, and the U.S. military said they had been mutilated.
The video showed masked men dragging the corpses, first by hand, then behind a truck, beheading one of them and then setting them on fire. Below the graphic footage is a subtitle: "The two soldiers belong to the same brigade of the soldier who raped our sister in Mahmoudiya."

I'd call the people who did this bastards, but that would be an insult to run-of-the-mill bastards. They are truly evil.
To: mware
Prayers for those soldiers & their families.

I am so happy to know that the USA's better treatment of captured terrorists will stop this sort of thing from happening again. Thank you Mr. McCain! /scarcasm off

If true, I have a feeling that this just may violate that 'oh so sacred' Common Article 3 that John McInsane needs shoved up his a$$ -- and sideways.

Sure makes a mockery of all the high brow twits in the senate who pontificate about torture. They give me the creeps more than these uncivilized terrorists do.
To: Churchillspirit
They believe it to be the bodies for the two troopers from the 101st (I think) murdered months ago.
Fox did say that their deaths were in retaliation for some offense against a young woman.
