"the Iraqi dude that led them there."

Exactly. That dude really did some serious travelling on foot. Not only the 3 trips to save Jessica, but then returning home, and disappearing into the desert on foot with his family. (Endangering his life, his wife's & their daughter.)

The Iraqi is now in the U.S. with his family-- he's a lawyer, and has been found a good job with a firm in D.C., I believe. He and his whole family will become U.S. citizens. I think he's been treated very well.

U.S. military medals are not awarded to civilians but I certainly hope that that brave Iraqi was awarded a few thousand "Benjamin Franklin Awards for Meritorious Service"
