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

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

Yeah, Fox actually said early early this morning that there were TWO diversionary attacks at the time of the rescue of the PFC.
