Recently two British soldiers were released by the Iraqis.  They
had not been officially listed as missing.  The MoD has declined
to comment, however the Red Cross has released the names of the two men.

What are the Red Cross guidelines for dealing with Special Forces
Personel, as It would seem most imprudent if their real identities,
sould be paraded before all and sundry?

Are there any other special case categories that the  Red Cross
observes?

Cheers,

Bill
