Soldiers Beaten in Seattle

Two soldiers were badly beaten here in Seattle on July 31st. The police have now released a videotape of the beatings after failing to get any leads. The video is available from KOMO-TV.

This is an unfortunate incident, and hopefully eyewitnesses to the beatings and anyone who knows these assailants will come forward.

UPDATE: The Seattle Police claim that the release of the videotape has yielded some leads. There is, however, something missing from this story and the previous story. Specifically, when did the police obtain this videotape (the incident occurred on July 31st) and how soon after that did they release it? There is some indication from local reports that the Seattle Police received the videotape one day after the incident. If this is true, this means the police delayed the release of the videotape showing the attack and the assailants for more than three weeks. The reason for the delay has not been explained.

UPDATE: KING5-TV also has an update and Michelle Malkin is following the story as well.
