I saw this also. A reporter with a british accent calmly showing a serene 'hospital' that looked a bit more like a hotel lobby. He showed the undisturbed mural of Saddam on the wall and a few sparse medical lounges on the middle of a large room. He said there was no resistance when she was taken out and that there had been no contact with her by the Iraqi army since she was hospitalized. He said said hospital employees told them she cried a lot but 'was in good spirits' and she kept asking when the US army was coming for her. They said they had taken good care of her.

It was a strange report - I had no idea where it came from and I don't think the Fox hosts knew either. As was said previously, they moved on without comment.

It looked like some kind of an Iraqi fluff piece that Al Jazira distributes for Iraqi TV. Fox may have goofed with this feed.

It's possible that the report is true. The Iraqi army may have murdered the other POW's, kept her for fun, but then gotten nervous about their long-term prospects when it became obvious they were going to lose the war. So, they just got the hell out of there, and left her behind.

It may be complete b.s., too. I'm just saying that we can't conclude one way or the other yet.

Marking your description to review after briefing.

Thank you for your post. It was very strange, indeed.
