1 All captured by the Mossad to make the freedom fighters look bad.

2 Sgt. Keith Maupin is still officially listed as "Missing/Captured" despite grainy unsubstantiated footage proporting to show his execution.

3 I was listing Maupin as MIA for awhile, but I now believe that the videotape was probably authentic. Let's hope I am wrong.

4 Rather than make this a post that will get lost and buried in a couple of weeks, wouldn't it make sense to post this on the left-hand frame somewhere so it's always up? That way it could be updated regularly and people wouldn't have to dig through the archives within a couple of weeks. Assuming it's feasible, of course.

5 Did the Video ever get released? I don't remember ever seeing it anywhere. If it was poor enough for the State Department / Department of Defense to call it inconclusive I would imagine it didn't have any identifying characteristics at all. He was also captured in the same attack as Tim Bell, is it likely they don't share the same fate? I guess if we're going on that basis too, we could list Michael Scott Speicher too who is also listed Missing / Captured.

6 What is happening with Jeffery Ake? Does anybody know anything about him?
