Chloe: You were right about Curtis and Assad. Curtis was in the army, just after desert storm. His squad was ambushed by Assads people. They killed 5 of Curtiss men and took 2 more hostage. Curtis was badly wounded, he couldnt go after them. The next day a tape was sent to the local television station. Assads lieutenant forced the men from Curtiss patrol to beg for their lives, and then he personally beheaded them both.
