It was a tragedy - but the full investigation isn't out yet. The question I have - is why didn't they stop? The only answer I can think - is that they were afraid.

Va bene, va bene...I'd have my fingers crossed if I believed in luck.

Apparently a female POW has been returned to the US force. I have no details, though.

I need to watch the news more. I'm getting behind on my current events.
Anyway, my mom got the addresses of some Marines stationed in Iraq and I'm going to write letters to them.

Got this from MSN April 2 — Ending a week of agony for one soldier’s family, U.S. forces in Iraq rescued a U.S. prisoner of war, U.S. Central Command said Wednesday morning. The rescued soldier, Army Pfc. Jessica Lynch, 19, of Palestine, W.Va., who was one of eight soldiers who vanished after their convoy was attacked south of Baghdad last month, had several broken bones but was stable and in good condition.

'Et Eärello Endorenna utúlien. Sinome maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn' Ambar-metta!' - And those were the words that Elendil spoke when he came up out of the Sea on the wings of the wind: 'Out of the Great Sea to Middle-earth I am come. In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.' 'Then Tuor arrayed himself in the hauberk, and set the helm upon his head, and he girt himself with the sword; black were sheath and belt with clasps of silver. Thus armed he went forth from Turgon's hall, and stood upon the high terraces of Taras in the red light of the sun. None were there to see him, as he gazed westward, gleaming in silver and gold, and he knew not that in that hour he appeared as one of the Mighty of the West, and fit to be father of the kings of the Kings of Men beyond the Sea, as it was indeed his doom to be; but in the taking of those arms a change came upon Tuor son of Huor, and his heart grew great within him. And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin "Oh. Forgive me, fairest of all males of Entmoot...Back down, all ye other wannabe fairest males! Dunedain is the fairest!" --Linaewen |

REUTERS - Washington Quote:
And yes, how were they to know it was women & children if the van was speeding? And how were they to know if they don't bother to make sure? Little choice? Thought these were trained professionals who are supposed to be cool under fire and remain calm in performing their duties? What if that car was loaded with bombs etc? Wouldn't the situation have been worse? (i.e taking out some US soldiers & civilians?)

Also - I'm not sure how much more of a warning someone is supposed to get - they shot into the engine and the person was still going right for the check point. Quote:

You really don't have much idea about what is going on - except little pieces here and there. Just enough to make you dangerous.

So I have to have been there to have an opinion (that matters in your eyes?) Ditto! Since you haven't been there your opinion frankly means jack sh*t.
Oh and btw - do not insult my intelligence, unlike certain people I do not have to sit here regurgetating other people's opinions. If I want a blow by blow account of what's going on I'll watch the news, to be honest I was operating under the assumption that it's our opinions & views of what's happening that would be discussed here, regardless of whether or not someone agreed, disagreed or couldn't give a rat's ass.
