#1 "...U.S. commanders have said they were uncertain about the numbers of foreign fighters..."

Well, lessee... there's the ones we don't have, the ones we do have, and the ones we'll admit to having...

"Sanchez did not say where they were held, when they were detained or whether any of them have been released."

I can say no more!

#2 "Hundreds" cross the border, but how many actually live to fight? We can't say how many we have, because that would give the enemy an idea of how many we've already killed (have to expect him to know how many survived). As for 'releasing' them, Iraq is not "catch and release" waters. The only release I'd be happy with would be from 40,000 feet somewhere over the Indian Ocean.
