1 There's one thing not in the story and has been hardly played on tv except for a bit here and there but approximately 15 US Marines have died there over the last week. Nine were ambushed at once and killed. Very dangerous out there in that deadland. (it sort of goes off to the left like a bulge). I'm not sure catching anyone is going to give you the answers you seek about those beheadings because each one was done by a different group. Plus what we don't also know is bodies of many "westerners" have been found but they don't know who they are and just how many of them there really is. The Marines over there in the Anbar province are in great danger but they still do it and it's not easy to get help out there, although they did call in bomb coverage the other day. This occurances get mentioned but are moved on so fast, many never learn about these deaths. There is a poem written somewhere here on one of the blogs who carried it from a National Guard who flies planes for refuling when all of a sudden he got a change in orders to bring back to the states 26 Marines and what he wrote how they were put on the plane; how they were protected in the plane, the ceremonial aspects of them taken off the plane and into family mortuary cars was amazing. Everyone should read it. Maybe it's not a poem; just a story of one man's experience and it takes your breath away. Cindy
