Why don't we hear from the left today about "violations of the Geneva Convention"?

U.S. soldiers' bodies mutilated, booby-trapped

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The bodies of two U.S. soldiers found in Iraq Monday night were mutilated and booby-trapped, military sources said Tuesday.

Pfc. Kristian Menchaca and Pfc. Thomas L. Tucker went missing after a Friday attack on a traffic control checkpoint in Yusufiya, 12 miles (20 km) south of Baghdad.

The sources said the two men had suffered severe trauma.

The bodies also had been desecrated, and a visual identification was impossible -- part of the reason DNA testing was being conducted to verify their identities, the sources said.

Joe Wilson:" US Should Negotiate w/ Terrorists

- Former U.S. Ambassador Joseph Wilson, whose wife was at the center of a CIA leak case that led to the indictment of Vice President Cheney's top aide, argued Wednesday that the U.S. needs to bring Iraqi insurgents and their "foreign patrons" to the conference table for negotiations.

During a panel discussion at the liberal Take Back America conference in Washington, D.C., Wilson said diplomatic efforts to establish Iraq as a democratic power in the region should also include "the Egyptians, the Jordanians, the Saudis, the Iranians ... the Turks, probably some leading powers from Europe and Russia, all of whom have interests at stake."

Wilson, a former U.S. diplomat in Iraq and ambassador to Gabon, has been a leading critic of the Bush administration since his wife, Valeria Plame, was outed as a CIA operative in 2003. He alleges that the White House leaked her identity as payback for an op-ed he wrote in the New York Times arguing that Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction.
