Were the two missing soldiers captured?

We don't know at this point what happened to these two missing US soldiers. It's been at least 36 hours since they went missing. This new information is not good.

Ahmed Khalaf Falah, a farmer who said he witnessed the attack Friday, said three Humvees were manning a checkpoint when they came under fire from many directions. Two of the vehicles went after the assailants, but the third was ambushed before it could move, he told The Associated Press.

Seven masked gunmen, including one with what he described as a heavy machine gun, killed the driver of the third vehicle, then took the two other U.S. soldiers captive, the witness said. The account could not be verified.....

The New York Times also reported in its Sunday editions that Iraqi residents in the area said they saw two U.S. soldiers taken prisoner by a group of masked guerrillas. It said the two surviving soldiers were led to two cars and driven away.

(PS. - The White House wants the message out there that these two missing servicemen are no big deal. 2,500 dead American soldiers is just a number, too. Tell me again how you care about the troops.)
