My search didn't turn up an article but I swear I heard it on TV about the diversion.

"I swear I heard it on TV about the diversion."

I heard it too.. I just can't remember who said it. Probably on Fox since that's all I watch.

I thought I heard that too. I found this on the FOX News website:

U.S. military officials said a battle that was going on in the Nasiriyah area at the same time was related to the rescue. That raised questions whether the battle was a diversionary action to allow the commandos to slip into the hospital

You could actually see the diversion (firing a little ways away). They were carrying her out on a stretcher at the same time.
