Kidnapped vs captured

The sources use the term kidnapped and there is no reason to omit that term. The circumstances laid out in the article certainly fit kidnapping. SJSA 15:21, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Its not kidnapping to capture a soldier in war. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.228.241.101 (talk) 12:19, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Name

Is the unfortunate soldier's name al-Taie or Altaie or what? The spelling should be consistent, but I am not qualified to say which of the varieties shown is correct. Dawright12 (talk) 12:50, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

High school

What high school did Ahmed Altaie graduate from? 207.239.120.10 (talk) 02:36, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wife

It says that he was married to Linda Racey of Michigan. It also says that his wife was Israa Abdul-Satar, of Baghdad. Which was it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cosmiccoffee (talk • contribs) 21:12, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

How?

All it says is that his family emigrated to the United Kingdom. How exactly did he end up serving in America?Correctron (talk) 04:33, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
