Someone should ping the "nuke 'em all" crowd to this thread.

Great story but I wonder why the father is quoted as saying she wasn't shot.

This might just be the first Iraqi family living in Jessica's hometown in West Virginia.

.. this story is really heart wrenching.. I wonder why they didn't kill her? The fact she survived is a miracle in itself much less the rest of the story..

One heck of a story! I am willing to bet there will be many stories that come out about Iraqi citizens helping the Allied forces over and over again.

This Iraqi, a moslem, saved her life. We shouldn't forget that. There are good hearted people of conscience among every group.

Those are the people we are there to help.

Under the watchful eyes of more than 40 murderous gunmen, the 19-year-old supply clerk laid in Saddam Hussein Hospital suffering from at least one gunshot wound and several broken bones.

As her captors discussed amputating her leg, an Iraqi man leaned to her ear and whispered, "Don't worry." Lynch replied with a warm smile.

The man was already working with U.S. Marines to gain the critical information needed to rescue one of the first American prisoners of war in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Just a day earlier, the lawyer from An Nasiryah had walked 10 kilometers to inform American forces he knew where Lynch was being held.

Please Lord, bless this man, Thank You.

Like the President says, we are not at war with the Iraqi people but with the murderous Hussein regime.

I sent the story link to O'Reilly, as others no doubt have by now.

Thanks for making my day. I can't believe we got this kid out. Prayers for the ones we didn't get out.

This can't be true. O'Reilly had a guy from Qatar Television on earlier that assured us that the entire Arab world hates the Americans, and the Iraqi people will try to kill us for years to come.

He couldn't have been way off base, could he?

I want to know where to send $20 or a care package or something to this family. They are heroes in my book.
