State Department Admits 3 American Hostages 'Probably' in Iraq

AFP reports that the State Department is now admitting that at least 3 Americans are probably alive and being held in Iraq:

"We know of three Americans who are held hostage in Iraq, and then there is a handful of others that are unaccounted for," State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said on Wednesday.

Boucher declined to identify the three or provide any details on their situation, only saying that officials are in regular contact with their families.

By my count there are four, possibly five. They are:

Roy Hallums, Dean Sadek, Tim Bell and Bill Bradley. The Army of Ansar al Sunnah claimed to have killed Spc. Matt "Keith" Maupin on video, but the victim could not be identified as in other videos released by the group.

1 Rusty, Matt Maupin's family still believes he is alive and is working towards some kind of solution to find out if that is true or not. I'm not sure if they have a site on him but I do know they do not accept that back video in the dark as his killing, so they are still holding out hope. For their sake, I hope they get some closure one way or another and I hope and pray it's for the best. Just thought you'd like to know. There are a lot more hostages than we know of and a lot more deaths than we are aware of and I hope those families can somehow find some peace. Whatever happened to the belief that Spiecer (sp? who was caught during the Gulf War (1991) was still alive? Any word on him? Cindy PS Sorry but my laptop fried and I lost all my info, email, websites and more - just like my two cpu's sitting on the floor beside my desk, which I never use, so now I have 4 total computers that do not work - I'm just borrowig this laptop for about 5 minutes from someone else.
