I don't agree with Tom's statement.  It used to be that scouts could
disappear when they are used, even in your own territory, and nothing would
be heard from them again.  The presumption was that they were captured or
just decided to quit.  Now when they disappear someone gets a message that
they were captured and beaten.  Why can't it just be changed to not issue
the message when a scout is captured by his own side?  Then we can go back
to presuming that he quit and went home.
