Al Jazeera has been showing pictures and interviews of 5 captured Americans and no American news organization (CNN, MSNBC, NY Times)that I have seen on the web has even reported their capture let alone shown pictures or mentioned their names. They are only hurting their own credibility as the facts will get out.

That's not to say they aren't kid-gloving it. Just not quite like you are describing. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."

The web isn't as instantaneous a news reporting medium as you'd like to think. From the main page: About 10 U.S. troops killed or held as POWs \ufffd U.S soldiers go astray, confronted by Iraqi military \ufffd U.S. 7th Cavalry met with artillery fire in south-central Iraq Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."

If you really want facts, read about events that happened several days ago, after they are no longer a) propaganda, b) unclear, c) suppressed for operational purposes. Using the media to follow a war in realtime is like trying to referee a sports match in the dark without instant replay. All you're getting right now is psyops and speculation.
