Believe it or not, a number of American media people had known for a couple of DAYS that a POW had been located, but they all sat on the story at CENTCOM's request so that the rescue mission could be attempted. Once the mission ended, of course, they did just what you suspected. Like I posted above, it appears to be some combination of ABCNEWS radio, the AP and NBC News television that broke the embargo. From what I've read, ABCNEWS is the most likely gun-jumper, but I can't prove anything because I don't have access to the direct AP wire any more.
