According to Fox, Jessica Lynch, part of the supply column ambushed several days ago was rescued by U.S. special forces after receiving intelligence of her where-about. Centcom confirming that she has been rescued and is in coalition controlled territory.

Great news! Good news about the reporters that were released too. It is wonderful their lives were spared. They say she is shot up pretty good but was getting treatment. Well she was in a hospital/command anyways. Hopefully she makes a full recovery and they are able to get info regarding the whereabouts of the others.

and dunno if this is PC to say or not (and I know all of you are sitting out there going "sure Gomer, like it matters to you..." hehe. But she is a cutie. Shame on me I know.

CNN reports nine bodies and possibly remains of 2 others recovered as well. This from a reporter on scene that was monitoring radio traffic.

Kudos to the special ops forces. It's reported they had to shoot their way in and shoot their way out. No one will be left behind.

Two broken legs, broken arm, and gun shot wounds. Hope she's more careful getting out of a truck and surrendering next time. Must have tripped and fell on her gun. Chicks,....What can you say?



Seriously though, this girl had guts and from all accounts is in remarkably good condition considering all she's been through. I'm afraid the others may be lost. I pray that they are not.

I want to hear the status of the 11 bodies that were recovered. Apparently they were taken from the hospital when Lynch was rescued. I assume they were from her convoy. I would think it would be unlikely that Lynch would be the only one to survive in a fight, unless the others sacrificed themselves to try to protect a female soldier, which is possible I suppose. My suspicion is that more than just Lynch was captured, but that Lynch was the only one that wasn’t executed. I wonder how many of the 11 bodies have forehead wounds with powder burns.

On the reporters one of them appeared quite angry not about his treatment but of the unrelated prisoners being tortured.

A reporter asked if they hurt him and he said ~"No but there were definitely people being hurt there"

He spoke with a shudder in his voice and an angry face of disgust and hatred of the people doing the hurting.
