[looney tune]

Being reported on CNN - 6 POWs - found alive. No more information.

[Elle Bee]

FOX now says 7

another example of some of the news CNN doesn't report

Lose CNN ....... they're rooting for the wronge side

.

[Aaron0617]

Okay..i'm satisfied. They changed it to found info on 6, but taking out the word alive.

[djf]

Hope to God one is that poor woman, Showshawna, or whatever. She looked so terrified, I cried everytime I saw her...

[hmmmmm]

Yes, to notify the families but even before that to verify 100%. If only the 12 hours will guarantee that these are our missing soldiers..... the time is a small price to pay.

[The G Man]

Fox is quoting a statement from Tommy Franks that says they will release news on 7 POWs ... not that they've found 7 POWs.

[goldstategop]

It should be cause for rejoicing among their families. As this war is winding down, its winding down with a happy ending. God bless the families of the POWs, God bless our troops, and God bless America.

Marines find six U.S. prisoners of war -report


BAGHDAD, April 13 (Reuters) - U.S. forces pushing north from Baghdad have found six U.S. prisoners of war who are now safe with a Marine unit, CNN reported on Sunday.

The television network quoted a reported traveling with the U.S. forces, James Kitfield of the National Journal, as saying information was still sketchy.

"Word just got through... They are alive and I don't have more information than that," Kitfield said in a telephone interview on CNN.

A spokesman for U.S. Central Command said there was no immediate confirmation of the report. "Right now we don't have any information on that. We hope it's true," said spokesman Captain Stewart Upton.

5 pows from Jessica's unit - 2 apache pilots - Pentagon being cautious. Operation still ongoing.

[rvoitier]

"I want to see it verified on Fox News Channel before I believe CNN."

Questioning what CNN says should be the standard now. If heard from CNN ask if the news item was verified by FOX or other sources.

That would be our small part in the war on Communism to beat back the propaganda machine.

Fox quoting AP: 6 found and appear to be healthy!

[hmmmmm]

Amen.

[laz17]

Why is anyone still watching CNN?

Shoshanas' face has haunted me also!

[looney tune]

Now Fox is saying that it is 6 missing found, not necessarily the POWs. There were some declared missing, but they weren't actually the pows.

[Polybius]

Gen. Franks reports that those found are not necessarily the 7 POW's we had seen on Iraqi video but may be others listed as missing in action. Identities still not clear.

[lainde]

French news source says they were found 95 miles from Baghdad...Unclear if they are from the missing 507th maintenance company.

Franks: News on POWs to Be Released Soon

.c The Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. military has news of seven prisoners of war, Gen. Tommy Franks, the war's overall commander said Sunday. He would not say if any were alive.

``Within the next 12 hours we'll have some news on those POWs,'' Franks told ABC News.

Haven't heard reports of six missing from any other unit.

[Bluntpoint]

In an effort to curb the great advancement of Blacks in the U.S., George W. Bush has purposely blocked my attempts to free the hostages.

Further, is anyone really free if not freed by me.
