By the way, Fox sat on this story until 11:30 am; I wonder why. There was some question on the original thread as to whether ABCNEWS jumped an embargo for the second time in a row in order to get a "scoop" about an MIA/POW/KIA.

Ah, s**t!
Notice that Peter Arnett is still breathing AND employed?
Why is always the best who buy the farm?

So they could notify the family, I'm betting. Fox has been good about that.

The soldier was killed as well but his name hasn't been released by DoD as yet. Or at least the report that I heard said that both were killed.
