I found this article via a comment by "Count Fecula" in a thread on Daily Kos.


I wonder how much social mixing is going on between military and civilians in Iraq.


I also wonder if having your assignment in Iraq extended without warning can distract your troops.


It's funny that some people have been able to blog while serving in the Middle East while these guys allegedly were denied communication to home.


Hey, do you think Bob Novak will out their wives, who are apparently English-speaking medical doctors who fear anti-American Iraqis?


This story says that the soldiers made a quickie stop during foot patrol which was similar to other soldiers stopping for groceries or drinks. I wonder if any of their fellow soldiers were aware of the marriage going down when it did.


I think this story would made a wonderful made-for-TV movie. Soldiers making a (faux?) conversion to Islam to make a dangerous wartime marriage opposed by their commanding officer. Of course, the way it's been handled would embarrass the Army.
