Bodies of missing soldiers found

CNN:

The remains of two U.S. soldiers kidnapped more than a year ago in Iraq were found and are back in the United States, according to the father of one of the soldiers.

The military has not yet issued a public confirmation, but Ramon "Andy" Jimenez said in a broadcast interview that officers visited his Lawrence, Massachusetts, home to tell him the body of his son, Sgt. Alex R. Jimenez, 25, was found.

The officers told Ramon "Andy" Jimenez that information from an informant led investigators to the remains of his son and those of Pvt. Byron W. Fouty, 19, of Waterford, Michigan, on Wednesday, Jimenez family friend Sandy Almonte said.

The senior Jimenez, a native of the Dominican Republic, said the military told him the soldiers' remains were identified in the U.S. by their dental records.

The father said his son died for a cause he cared about.

"He decided since he was young to join the Army," he said. "I'm very proud of my son."

...

He has every right to be proud of his son and most Americans share his grief.

What should anger Americans is that the search when he went missing was hampered by Democrat concerns about terrorist privacy rights. Recall that cell phone intercepts gave some information about his capture, but it took hours to followup on them because of having to jump through FISA hoops when it was discovered that the cell phone went through some US lines.

It became the classic example of all that was wrong with the Democrat approach to intercepting enemy communications.
