"While troops engaged the Iraqis in another part of the city, the team persuaded an Iraqi doctor to lead them to Lynch, said Air Force Maj. Gen. Gene Renuart."

Thank God for this brave Iraqi doctor, who also led our soldiers to the burial site. Has anyone heard whether or not this doctor is still alive? If he wasn't evacuated, I doubt the murderous Iraqi savages let him live.

I've heard that he and his family have been evacuated to a safe place near the Kuwait border.

Haven't heard about the doctor's fate. The Iraqi lawyer who initially went to the marines and drew the maps of the hospital layout, number of enemy guards has been granted temporary asylum (along with his family) with the Marines.

The tread I read said with was a lawyer who wife was a nurse. They and their young daughter were moved to safe area and wife was assisting medics with care of patients.

Even in the most evil of times, good wins out.

In the initial reports of the rescue, I heard that the Iraqi doctor had been evacuated with Jessica and that she "held his hand" during the trip.

Today's General from Centcom reported that she "grabbed the Ranger doctor's hand and held onto it for the entire time."

I hope that the first report was correct and that the Iraqi doctor is also safe, but I am very worried about him.

He is also a hero and in my prayers.
