"that was ambushed after taking a wrong turn near the southern Iraqi town .."

I heard one of the unit that was being visited in the hospital STRONGLY say that they DID NOT take a wrong turn ..

Thanks Ivan... What great news!

Good news,bad title.

The U.S. and British military don't "limp" anywhere.

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

the seven were found by a “sheer stroke of luck”

Those of us who having been praying hard for them know otherwise:-)

[Houmatt]

That is such wonderful news.....

However, I have just one question....

[barbarianbabs]

Way to go!

[Polybius]

“We were approached by an Iraqi, I think it was a police officer, who said: ‘I have nothing do do with this, but I know where American prisoners are.’

I hope they did not lose track of this guy so that they can give him a nice cash bonus and a good job in the new Baghdad Police Department.

"'We are ecstatic that not only is she safe, but that all the PoWs are in US hands,' Claude Johnson, her father, said."

What class! What a great story!

Ivan, you should get a special award at the end of this war for keeping us so well informed. And thanks to the press of the United Kingdom for its timeliness and clear writing style.

Shoshana Johnson, 30, of Fort Bliss, Texas, the only woman to have been captured apart from Private Lynch

Actually there was one other woman among the members of the 507th, Lori Piestewa, who was either killed in the ambush or died sometime after her capture.

I'm so thankful these seven were saved! I was so afraid that their captors might have fled, leaving the POWs locked in some hidden underground bunker, where they would starve to death before they could be found.

[EternalVigilance]

Praise to God for answering our prayers...

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

Thanks Ivan. Outstanding news. God is good.

What joyful news and on Palm Sunday too boot!

I haven't heard much about Brits being P.O.W.'s or being captured. Are any in this category?

[SMEDLEYBUTLER]

The seven were taken by Chinook helicopters to a field hospital.

Sea Knight helicopters, not Chinooks. Nice to see that British journalists are just as inept as the ones here in America.
