sdctlc 0 #6 April 2, 2003 Well that is Awesome!!The one thing that quickly came to my mind if the intel is that good that they were able to pinpoint the location and get her out, I would have to think that a good chunk off the other intel may be good as well. The worldwide press and even in some cases the US press is quick to question the information that the military hints at. I have to say that maybe this will lead people to think a good chunk of it is pretty damn good! That is a bit of good news for today though! Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

Michele 1 #7 April 2, 2003 Most excellent news....simply most excellent! I'm still at the office, so hadn't heard anything. Any news about her condition? Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sdctlc 0 #8 April 2, 2003 CNN just said she was rescued in a hospital near nasyera (sp??) and had multiple gunshot wounds. That is all I have heard on the news. They are also speculating that the "Battle of Bagdad" is starting... that easly could be total speculation on the news's part though. Scott C."He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

Michele 1 #12 April 2, 2003 QuoteThere are other rumors that more soldiers' bodies were found at the same location. Just confirmed by MSNBC that "several American soldiers' bodies were found at the same location". They are not saying which unit or whose bodies they were. There are 22 currently held as POWs or "whereabouts unknown". As to the Battle of Baghdad, at least one regiment is on the way, and has bridged the Tigris river.

I was listening to National People's Radio this morning during the drive to work (I only switched to it because the local FM station that carries the Beeb's mid-day news program has a weak transmitter and I get out of range of their signal after about 15 miles), and I heard nothing about the superb intel, planning, initiative, boldness, etc that resulted in the PFC being liberated. Instead, I heard a feminist diatribe about how American female POWs were treated "the same" during PGW1, preceded by more talking-head criticism of the war plan from "experts".

That's funny, I listened to the same interview, and the "feminist diatribe" came from a retired US Navy Captain.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

I guess you weren't paying attention very well. You might want to do some research to find out exactly who the source of that "feminist diatribe" was.

The point of my post was how totally off-topic National People's Radio went in an effort to downplay the action and use it as a vehicle for feminist rhetoric. It wasn't Col Rhonda Cornum.

kevin922 0 #17 April 2, 2003 Yeah that is awesome news, but it just makes me cringe to think about the torturing they did to her.. how much of the broken legs, broken arm, gunshot wounds were done during the capture and how much of it was done during the torture :( she will probably have nightmares for many years.. such a crappy situation Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There will be some lists of names and there will be "special attention" given to those on it. "The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat."

Exactly! Why couldn't they have gotten a more patriotic expert like Geraldo Rivera to explain how women are treated as POW's? He is clearly more qualified than she is to discuss such things.

NPR doesn't try to be an up-to-the-minute all-news-all-the-time station. It's not really part of their charter. They instead pick an interesting (to them) facet from the day's news and go into it. They've done it for years. Edited to add: Kind of like doing windows isn't in my charter Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it.
