AP, words mean things and POW actually has a meaning to the Army.  This soldier was listed as "missing".  You can feel free to call him whatever you want.

I don't have anything in particular against this soldier, but since his "capture" I have followed news stories and years ago the Army concluded that he walked away from his post and ended up with the Taliban. 


Momof4: "Of course, it was pure coincidence that he was found and killed there.>>

No kidding?  The facts I was speaking of was that he was only in the Tora Bora region for about a week before he escaped to Pakistan.  The idea that our military actions in Iraq a month later let him "get away" has been since proven to be bad synopsis.  It does still make good rhetoric for those who need it.
