#3 "Blair's spokesman said the execution charge was based on the fact that the two soldiers were lying some distance from their vehicle and had been stripped of their helmets and body armor. Reporters asked if it were possible their equipment was removed after they were killed in action, but got no response."

Possible? Perhaps, but hard to believe.

#4 These guys were missing for days. The story was that the convoy dispersed after coming under attack, regrouped and resumed its journey without the vehicle involved. If they 'lost' this vehicle, how could anyone know the men died instantly? I'm inclined to believe this colonel was trying to protect the relatives from the barbaric truth. It has happened before.
