101. Can you imagine their value if they had been captured alive?
Not only do they know their father's whereabouts, but they have knowledge of every other secret Iraq possesses as well.

And do you think perhaps they could have been used as a bargaining chip to negotiate Saddam's surrender?

Captured and alive, they could have been used to demoralize Saddam loyalists; dead they will only increase the urge for more violence and revenge- they become martyrs.

The only real value they had dead, was to stop the freefall of shrubs approval rating, and give our troops a temporary morale boost. Whoopee.

Every immoral, inhuman act our military commits galls me, but the added incompetence and stupidity factors makes it unbearable.
