Did you read the article or know anything this man, who was recently (11/02 ?) reclassified as captured/missing (from KIA)?

Yeah, I read the article. Why would Saddam keep him alive for 12 years? Given what we have seen in this war and the horror stories we have heard from some of the Iraqi people, I find this hard to believe.

I saw, quite awhile ago, a documentary about this officer.....and if my overall impressions serve me correctly, our government, for years, refused to accept the "fact" that he was still alive, having been told by numerous credible sources that he was in a prison......this documentary left me with the impression that the government would sooner or later HAVE to change his status from KIA to MIA or POW.
