2 Dead American Contractors Found in Iraq

The bodies of two American civilian contractors who were taken hostage in Iraq last year have been found.

Ronald J. Withrow of Roaring Springs, TX, and John Roy Young of Kansas City, MO were found near Basra, which is where they were believed to be held captive. A few weeks ago, the FBI received the chopped-off fingers from 5 hostages, which were sent to the military.

DNA testing confirmed that two of those fingers belonged to Withrow and Young. My thoughts and deepest condolences go out to their families.

My brother-in-law Chris has is a civilian truck driver working in Iraq right now — he’s been over their for just over a year. I understand the fears that families of contractors go through when their is news of another killed or captured contractor.

I can only guess the response from Markos Moulitsos Zuniga over at his putrid blog The Daily Kos: Screw ‘em.

According to the times article:

The F.B.I. said that the remains of Ronald J. Withrow of Roaring Springs, Tex., and John Roy Young of Kansas City, Mo., had been found, and that relatives of the victims had been notified. The bureau did not say when and where the bodies were found, or anything about their condition.

If we’ve learned anything about our Islamic enemy, it is their utter disregard for humanity and their penchant for ritualistic torture and brutality. I can only  imagine that the condition of these men after a year at the hands of these inhuman pig-shits.
