[looney tune]

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

[hmmmmm]

Ollie was with them!!! Al Sammara?

[looney tune]

Ollie North now reporting "at least 6" rescued.

[billclintonwillrotinhell]

While CNN and Headline News talk of 6 MIA Americans being found alive, Fox News Channel and msNBC say Franks will talk about 7 POWs within 12 hours. I hope ALL of the POW and MIA family members have already been notified quickly. Otherwise, it's going to be an emotional rollercoaster for them.

[looney tune]

Ollie is amazing. 60 years old & keeping up with the youngsters. I have loved his reports.

[UCFRoadWarrior]

Ollie North is confirming the story on FNC. He says 6 POWs have been found.....not sure from what units.....found by USMC Recon Battalion......Ollie's unit is near the unit that found the POWs

Oh man, prayers for all

[COBOL2Java]

ABC Radio news reporting it now (7:00am Eastern). Said that there were seven found, and they are now in the custody of the Marines. Thank God!

[Oldeconomybuyer]

pMSNBC reports Gen. Franks saying 6-7 MIA/POW's recovered in "ongoing operation". Still fluid. Prayers.

Franks: Six Missing U.S. Troops Found 2 minutes ago

MSNBC just updated from the Pentagon it is SEVEN, SEVEN!!! Praise God and the Angels!!!

WASHINGTON - Coalition forces have found six U.S. troops previously classified as missing, , Gen. Tommy Franks, the war's overall commander said Sunday. The six appear to be healthy.

Franks said he had been reluctant to release the information because he was unsure whether the six were among five listed as missing or seven listed as POWs.

"They appear to be healthy," Franks told ABC News.

Pentagon (news - web sites) officials have committed to tracking down 12 soldiers still missing or captured since the spectacular rescue of Pfc. Jessica Lynch on April 1, but until Franks' revelation, there appeared to be no leads.

CentCom to brief in the next 12 hours.

MSNBC said they will also be returned in 12 hours ;)

That is an insult to Eeyore!! I am deeply saddened and concerned.

"The release or rescue of these POWs is a well orchestrated attempt to take the focus off the inhuman treatment of celebrities in the hands of the Baseball Hall of Fame."

Statement released by Susan Sarrandon and Tim Robbins.

That is an insult to Eeyore!! I am deeply saddened and concerned.

I feel the same way! Everyone knows that Eeyore has a heart! The same can't be said for Dasshole...
