I had not heard there was a diversionary action. Was there?

I read and heard that Brig. General Brooks said that some "brave souls" rescued Jessica Lynch. It sort of implied to me that there were some casualties in this rescue.

Thanks. Pentagon briefing coming up, will be on the lookout for more info and will be interested in press behavior today.

My husband said a co-worker was listening to NPR and in the wake of Jessica's rescue last night they were still harping on the mythical supply problem. My husband corrected him but the guy was unwilling to believe NPR would lie.
