The bodies of John Young and Ronald Withrow were found in or near Basra. The fate of the others is yet unknown. John Young was with Crescent Security and Ronald Withrow was with JPI Worldwide.

Pray for their families, and also for the families of the other contractors who were kidnapped in 2006:

Paul Reuben of Minneapolis
Jonathon Cote of Getzville, N.Y.
Joshua Munns of Redding, Calif.
Bert Nussbaumer of Vienna, Austria.

Malkin has a nice roundup post on this.

Update: More bodies found.

An even sadder update 3/27/08: Josh Munns and Paul Reuben’s remains have been identified. They are awaiting the test results on a third body that’s been recovered.

May God help their families through this terrible time.

These people will stop at nothing.

What Bush’s evil war for oil has to do with a Catholic Mass is anyone’s guess…

This is a departure from my usual “G” rated show, I would say the first part is “Mature Audiences” only.

Apparently they’re unable to defend their position?

“Peace Activists” Slap Female Blogger Twice–Encourage Others to Violence”-Melanie Morgan:

Many times I have been threatened with violence, as well as our staff at Move America Forward.

We simply shrug off the danger, and continue with our work to support our troops.

‘Skye’ at MidnightBlue.com wasn’t so lucky yesterday in Philadelphia, Pa.

She was slapped TWICE by so-called ‘peace activists’.

Video verifying ‘Skye’s’ account coming shortly. And photos.

I’ve seen Skye frequently in the chatrooms at Blogtalkradio, she has her own show over there, and also appeared on Newt One American Truth Warriors and other shows to talk about the after action reports from the Winter Soldier II protest because she was there.

This is disgusting…
