So how do you figure they weren't Muslim extremist converts? Wouldn't be the first time.
Does anyone have anymore information on this that is not speculative?

Assuming they were journalists:
True, they had to know the risks when they started off on this though. From what I understand if they do not convert to Islam on the spot any of the extremist factions would sell them as hostages and/or kill them. If the Muslim higher ups get word of it they usually don't like them to be killed if they convert.
Even if they were journalists, that's not to say that the US intentionally fired to kill them. They could have been just taking a pot shot at the enemy vehicle they were riding in, a hellfire is a close range opportunity weapon of sorts, its not like a cruise missile.edit on 16-12-2010 by RSF77 because: (no reason given)edit on 16-12-2010 by RSF77 because: (no reason given)

Iran never kills anyone intentionally, duuh, those who died under US torture, was not intentionally killed, they just wanted to torture them until they died from their wounds, therefore US didn't kill them, it was their wounds which kill them.
Once again, when one side of the story is propagated without any challenge, it doesn't just brainwash people, it also sounds ridiculous as times pass.
I mean think about the ridiculous claim that "they want to attack us because of our freedom". Thank GOD the other side of the story came forward, or this BS would have continued.

How is that propaganda? Seeing as they would kill them otherwise? Or is that propaganda too, what do you think Muslim extremists do when they capture westerners, sit down and have tea together and discuss Allah?

I am not interested in your anti-US babble, I am merely asking about this particular story.
I'm getting better at this

Doesn't matter how you explain the geopolitical mumbo jumbo. All of them are related to fighting against Islamists for decades. Let me ask you this, why has Russia not won the war even in their own soil? They bomb the crap out of the Chechens and still have not contained the attacks on Russia for example trains, planes, schools even theaters. All those attacks would have been enough to go to war against Islamic terrorists, but it seems the Russians are giving up.
If you, or most of you "pro-war" / "America F yeah!!"
