No duh Z, just because some of us would rather have seen them taken alive to face International and/or Iraqi justice, rather then cowboy justice, does not mean we have no memory of recent events. [/QB][/QUOTE]Your 'cowboy justice' wording is silly. The troops knocked on the door, and were then getting small arms fire. only THEN did they return fire. Just because you don't like the US Military, don't let it cloud your thinking. If YOU were fired at, would you sit there and go 'please come with us alive'? no.
Those brothers would not allow to be captured. They WANTED to fight till death. So this 'cowboy justice' is just a jaded reference.
I personally think it would have been nice to get them alive. THEN, the people would see them on TV, and in chains. Same for Saddam. A lot of Iraqi people can't tell if those nasty pics are REALLY the butcher brothers.
Saddam would get a warm welcome in Federal Prison.
