Have the "captured" GIs been recovered yet?

[Disturbed]

Were there three? I know that one was found. He had been killed. There was another that went missing that was married to an Iraqi woman before the three that were captured. Yeah, it's confusing.

1. They weren't going to quit looking until they found them.

Remember all that crap?

Those poor kids were left, trapped at the confluence of two irrigation canals with no way out.

Anyone knows better than to leave troops in a box like that.

A Private and a couple of Specs.

Heads should have rolled for that cock-up.

2. Here are all the current MIA POW from this conflict

Sgt. Keith M. Maupin
20
724th Transportation Company,
Army Reserve
Batavia, Ohio
Maupin was originally listed as missing after a fuel convoy was attacked near Baghdad International Airport by Iraqi insurgents using rocket-propelled grenades and small-arms fire on April 9, 2004. A videotape broadcast by Al-Jazeera on April 16 showed Maupin being held hostage by Iraqi insurgents, and the Pentagon later changed his status to captured. Maupin was promoted in absentia on May 1, 2004, from private first class to specialist. On June 28, 2004, Al-Jazeera reported that it had received a statement and a videotape from militants who claimed to have killed Maupin. U.S. officials, however, were unable to identify the man as Maupin and he remains listed as captured. He was promoted to sergeant in April 2005.

On October 23, 2006, Altaie was categorized as Duty Status Whereabouts Unknown when he allegedly was kidnapped while on his way to visit family in Baghdad, Iraq. The Pentagon changed his status to missing-captured on December 11.

3. they made much less hoopla

of calling off the search than of starting it. But they did call it off.

I still list the two as MIA on my website.
