Oh, sorry - you're absolutely right. I saw her picture here the other day, and I don't know why I had Navajo on the brain.

[EternalVigilance]

This is the thread a couple of days ago where we were discussing the fate of these missing soldiers, specifically Private Lynch. Personally, I feared for her most because they had not showed her in their grisly propaganda video.

Lots of folks been praying, and we sure better not stop now...

[Brad’s Gramma]

Excellent!!!!!

Pentagon confirms IT IS LYNCH

The Hopi reservation is smack dab in the middle of the Navajo reservation. There's no love lost between the two tribes, they often have border wars down there.

Barry McCaffrey needs to shut up...just SHUT UP!! He's out to prove he cudda done it better. All he's proving is that he's out to get Rumsfeld...with a grudge...with a vengence.

[Indy Pendance]

They are not are going release what methods they used, where she was found, etc. They have intel we have no knowledge of. Releasing any sensitive information will put other POW's lives in jeopardy. We have no clue what they are doing to rescue the others. As it should be.

[CheneyChick]

Am I late? ;0)

Probably!

[HarryCaul]

Hopi, I think, from Tuba City, Arizona. Lori Piestwa.

[Velveeta]

you've got mail ;-)

[uncbob]

Navajos can't stand the Zunis either

[Mrs. Xtrmst]

According to the "Fallen Heros" link on Foxnews.com there is another one missing--Lori something.

Out of that group, there is still one missing and one POW...the Hopi girl from AZ, and the black 30-year old mother.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Well, I'll have to side with the Navajos in that dispute, not just because of the Code Talkers, but also because I really love Navajo Sandwiches...

[Yankee]

I'm way ahead of you brother.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Thanks for the information.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Hmmm... that could explain my odd food cravings, too...

[Aerohawk]

LOL, you mean fry bread? I grew up on a border town of the Navajo reservation and it took me over a year to figure out how to properly make fry bread!

[Servant of the Nine]

My question is, What about the other POW's? What about the two pilots of the Apache? Where are they? It seems impossible that they would find this girl, and none of the others.

I have a sinking feeling in the pitt of my stomach is that the only reason they kept this poor girl alive was to sexually abuse her. There's no other reason.

The answer to both questions is that we are not facing an organized force. POWs are largely with whatever unit captured them. They don't know who to send them to and each CO makes his own decisions.

LOL a hundred times over.

News org buzz is that a LOT of people died to save this girl. It's not funny. The Iraqi army may be a bunch of misfits, but a bunch of misfits with a lot of machine guns can still cause a boatload of hell of earth.
