April 2 — Ending a week of agony for one soldier’s family, U.S. special operations forces in Iraq rescued a U.S. prisoner of war, U.S. Central Command said Wednesday morning. Military sources at the Pentagon told NBC News that the rescued soldier was Army Pfc. Jessica Lynch, 19, of Palestine, W.Va., one of eight soldiers who vanished after their convoy was attacked south of Baghdad last month.

I wonder if they let her go because she is a woman?

[Trishya]

they took a wrong turn!

Okay, pardon my ignorance. They didn't let her go, per ABC, they rescued her.
NPR discussed how the nation is respondong to women POWs this morning. Women POWs invoke a more emotional response from the public. (Well duh!) The men are just as scared as the women.
There are at least 2 more women and 7 more men to rescue.
God. I can't believe this. This whole thing just suuuucks. The war—not the rescue.

Maybe it helps that she is a gorgeous blonde (with two broken legs and multiple gunshot wounds).

Has there been any coverage of the British soldiers killed by gung-ho US aircraft over there? We're quite pissed off with it over here, especially as it happened before in 1991.

i heard that out of 16 killed soldiers there were only 3 killed by the iraqi troops, and the others either by americans or in helicopter crashes..

No! oh geesh!
I haven't heard it yet, but I feel so saturated with war I have stopped listening to it.
We are our own worst enemy by far.
