So the 4th member of the SEAL team has been recovered from the Kunar region, and if the Pentagon is to be believed, he died during the firefight and the Taliban were, indeed, talking out of their ass when they said they'd captured and beheaded him. Small consolation, but consolation nonetheless.

In related news, another leaked(?) British memo, this time detailing a plan to pull out a majority of troops by sometime in 2006. Apparently, either "top secret" in the UK means "give directly to the media", or perhaps these leaks are a bit more coordinated than random.
