I wonder where the black female POW is.. she's not listed here.. I may be wrong, but I don't think Any of the POW's that shown on TV were listed.
To: Bayou City
I'm so glad it was them and not me.
“Jessica Lynch,” called out a U.S. soldier as he approached her bed, removing his helmet. “We are United States soldiers and we’re here to protect you and take you home.”
I don't think I would have been able to resist the temptation to remove my helmet and say, "Princess Leia! I'm here with Obi-Wan Kenobi and we're here to rescue you!"

POW's Patrick Miller, Joseph Hudson, Edgar Hernandez, James Riley, and Shoshana Johnson of the 507th nor Apache helicopter crew POW's, David Williams and Ronald Young, were on this list.
We are still waiting for word on the as yet unidentified American.
To: Zipporah
They've confirmed that the black woman POW is one of the bodies they recovered. Not a happy ending.
To: King David
If so then they are murdering their POWs, seems we need to get the war crimes tribunals ready.

To: King David
Native American, not Black. Army Pfc. Lori Ann Piestewa, 22, of Tuba City, Ariz., 507th Maintenance Company, Fort Bliss, Texas.
To: King David

"The commandos had no shovels, Renuart said, so with their bare hands they dug up the remains of nine people believed to be U.S. soldiers,"Words fail me.

The part that gets me is where the commandos had to dig for the bodies with their bare hands because they didn't have shovels! WOW! Won't this make a great movie?! The entire war,IMHO will make a great movie or TV mini series.James Earl Jones could play Powell.I don't know who could play GWB,Rummy and Condi.What do you think?
