You have to remember, we are dealing with a foreign country. They may take as long or as short to decide the issue as they wish. They have no constitutional right to a speedy trial there.

And more then likely they are being held for some kind of political concession. But I place a lot of the blame on this incident on the individuals being held.

I mean, come on. Peacefully hiking through a war zone? Next to a nation that has even kidnapped and help British soldiers simply because it wanted to?

They may be innocent, and they may have been taken from the Iraqi side of the border. But they were still flaming 'tards to put themselves in that situation in the first place.

And none of that matters. The US govt has a duty to protect their lives, and they arent doing it. That they are essentially being kidnapped by an enemy makes it so much easier for us to use whatever means neccesary to get them released. We simply dont have the type of leaders who can do that.
