Before you get too sickened let me explain I avoided this post because the entire topic is a tiresome attempt to discredit a policy that has no reasonable alternatives. Alex has a bone to pick over this and that's okay but it has reached the point of incessant pounding on the table.

Our military, intelligence services, congress, and administration are all looking at these things every day. They love to poke at each other and therefore I think we have a policy that works as well as we can expect. The gotcha moments are not there.

See that's the thing, there are too many unanswered questions to assume these are innocent players. In the grand scheme of things we could say they are lucky to be alive after bumming around in Taliban country.

This is like a criminal trial but we are only getting the argument of the defense. There's a whole other side of this story that the military knows and has no obligation to tell us. Have any congressmen investigated this? How about Mr. Hope and Change? Wouldn't he want to fix this supposed tragedy? I'm sure there are few who would like to take something like this to the press if in fact they are innocent.

Skepticism cuts both ways when it comes to how our government operates. I've always found it's where interests lie that you substantiate and confirm competing stories. There's still not enough here to make a conclusion.
