Many reports last night and today have referred to a diversionary tactic that was implemented in order for the ranger, seals, etc. to go into the hospital. There was no one killed in the rescue. The bodies that have been talked about were 2 in a morgue in the hospital and 9 in a grave. Resistance was encountered in the rescue but everyone got out safely. The hospital was secured and is no longer in the regime's control. That is how we were able to search the hospital and find the weapons and the bodies, etc. The bodies are now undergoing DNA to be identified.

I read that a POW the team captured took them to the morgue, and the makeshift gravesite..they had no idea it was there....and the use of the word "hospital" connotes a very false image.....like calling a MOtel6 a tropical resort....it's an Iraqi combatcommand with a first aid kit..that's all
