i really doubt that the bush adminstration wanted 'em alive.
capturing them alive would even more question their status as under the geneva convention and it would be very unlikely if gwb could call 'em "illegal combatents".
ok, here's what happened to the little kid.
they sent missles into the building (TOW's) and they think it killed the 3 adults.
so, the troops storm in and go upstairs and the lil dude sprays them with ak47.
so, i dont blame 'em in acting in self defense. but shouldnt they have at leasted smoked the place or flashed it before entering? something to disable the suspects?
