When Near, Appear Far

Al Qaeda claims they've killed the two American soldiers they captured three weeks ago:

Insurgents linked to al-Qaida issued a video Monday claiming they killed all three U.S. soldiers captured in an ambush last month. "They were alive and then dead," a voice said during a sequence of images that included the military IDs of two Americans still missing.

But all they've proven is that they have their ID cards. Why no gruesome snuff video that the jihadis love to film and view?

If our soldiers are heading for Iran, the enemy would have reason to throw us off by making us think they are dead.

Assume that this was a snatch ordered by Iran and that our troops are still alive.
