    I saw the Al Jez' pictures of the US KIA/PW's when first aired a few days ago, they were being kept in reasonable comfort etc.  Obviously the media was there mind but they appeared safe from lynching etc.  

    I missed the Brit PW's yesterday but hope they'll be the same.  Will advise when pcitures seen.

    Latest update - MOD still not saying that the 2 dead soldiers shown on the film, are actually the 2 "missing" soldiers.

    Later on Thursday, two British soldiers who went missing on Sunday, and are believed dead, were named as Sapper Luke Allsopp, 24, and Staff Sergeant Simon Cullingworth, 36, both from a bomb disposal unit of the Royal Engineers.
