Signs of U.S. POWs found at hospital
NBC: Bloodied female U.S. uniforms found at hospital March 28 -- U.S. Marines now control a hospital where they say they found bloodied U.S. uniforms. NBC's Kerry Sanders reports.
NBC, MSNBC AND NEWS SERVICES AN NASIRIYAH, March 28 — U.S. Marines who secured a hospital that had been used by Iraqi forces later found several bloodied U.S. uniforms worn by female soldiers, NBC’s Kerry Sanders reported Friday from the hospital. The find suggested that Iraq had held several POWs at the hospital, which is in An Nasiriyah, a town where at least five Americans were taken prisoner and eight went missing after their convoy came under fire.
SANDERS WAS shown where the uniforms were found — inside the bathroom of a larger room that had been padlocked. It was the same room where 3,000 nuclear, biological and chemical suits were found when the Marines moved in. The uniforms, which had had their American flag patches and names ripped off, were found inside a bag. In another room, Marines found a large battery next to a bed — leading them to suspect it was used as a torture device, Sanders reported. The hospital was taken by the 2nd Battalion, 8th Marines, after a fierce battle with Iraqi forces there. Sanders, who has been traveling with the battalion, was shown the room by a Marine who identified the uniforms as those worn by servicewomen. It was not clear what distinguished them from those worn by men. One female U.S. soldier is listed as a prisoner of war and two as missing in action. They were part of an Army maintenance convoy attacked by Iraqis after making a wrong turn in An Nasiriyah on Sunday. In that incident, two U.S. soldiers were killed, five are known to have been taken prisoner and eight are listed as missing in action. The known female POW is Spc. Shoshawna Johnson, 30, of Fort Bliss, Texas. The female soldiers listed as missing are: Pfc. Jessica Lynch, 19, of Palestine, W.Va.; and Pfc. Lori Piestewa, 22, of Tuba City, Ariz.
POWS EXECUTED? On Wednesday, the Pentagon’s No. 2 general accused Iraq of executing some prisoners of war. Iraq later denied the allegation.
Marine Gen. Peter Pace, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, apparently was referring to some of the maintenance troops taken prisoner. Iraqi state television showed video footage of five POWs who were alive and the bodies of at least five U.S. soldiers. Defense officials who have viewed the tape have said privately that several of the bodies had execution-style gunshot wounds to their heads. On Thursday, British Prime Minister Tony Blair said that other Iraqi TV footage appeared to show two British soldiers who had been executed. “It is an act of cruelty beyond all human comprehension,” the prime minister said at a news conference with President Bush after their summit at Camp David. U.S. intelligence officials have received one uncorroborated report indicating that at least some of the dead soldiers had been captured alive and executed in public, a senior Pentagon official said Wednesday, speaking on condition of anonymity. The information was of undetermined reliability, the official said. Pace, interviewed on CNN’s “Larry King Live,” said Iraqis had engaged in many atrocities since the war began. “They have executed prisoners of war. ... They have used women and children as human shields, and they have pretended to surrender and then opened fire,” Pace said. “I’ve never seen anything like this. It’s disgusting.”
Pro Arabic press reporters and editorialists should be invited to the "torture chamber "
"complete with battery probes and leads" discovered there......

Animals don't video-tape torture and carnage and show it to cheering crowds. These people are evil. Whatever spirit these iraqi ba$tards once had, was taken from them and they are nothing more than physical hosts for spiritual evil. Outwardly, they "look" like people, but their humaness stops there. If the troops keep that in mind, they will be able to accomplish their objective and come back home and not have a second thought about their duties.
That video segment is on the MSNBC website. It's the same one that was on TV this morning by the MSNBC embedded reporter.
Thank you and highlighting.
What is it? Religion? Ethnicity? Culture? I can't figure it out. Saudia Arabians Kill 3000 INNOCENTS. Palastinians kill women and children like kids eating candy, Afghans behead women for being RAPED and now this. Many more examples to numerous to mention. To say they are animals is a complement. There are NO WORDS. There is ONE word they probably don't even have in their language; HONOR......and our troops have IT in spades.
It took me awhile to get over my feelings against the VC and the ARVN but those emotions never came close to my utter HATRED for these creatures.
Yes, they would be happy because she is pretty.
