It is sad. The account from the ITN team is not good. We have also had a mishap south of the troop advances where a maintenance crew took a wrong turn and found a large military group. Iraq is apparently going to show this on their TV at 11:30. I hope that they do not have the pilots.

It appears the Iraqis execute half their prisoners. Reports coming in that 10 Americans (the maintenance team that took a wrong turn) were captured alive but Al-Jezeera shows 4 or 5 in morgue (shot in the head, apparently) and 4 or 5 being interrogated. I feel sorry for all of them, especially the one woman still alive.
