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?

Did anyone want them alive?
They were not illegal combatants, they were combatants and died as such.
If caught alive they would have been tried as murderers, common criminals.
A little kid (14) with an ak flashing deserved to die also.
I can see him as a Hitler youth type pledging his life for the cause, well I hope your grand-pa is next , time to reunite the whole hussien family.
