I'm fearful of the dichotomy between news reports of SIX found alive vs. Gen. Franks saying "news of SEVEN" to be released in next 12 hours.

No CENTCOM presser today, darnit.

I believe, unfortunately, that the dichotomy in verbiage you see tells the whole story.

Expect the worst, be surprised with the best.

The "12 hour" thing is worrisome, too, as it raises fears that families may need to be notified, and we know what that means. Yet they keep mentioning an ongoing rescue operation.

That too is odd, since I would think no one would be talking at all if the operation is still in progress.

Check out the CENTCOM link. Does this mean the war is officially over?

No Briefing ~ 13 April

6 Americans rescued, no CENTCOM briefing...it's a happy day!
