The six were found 95 miles north of Baghdad, rescued by Marines, according to Agence France-presse.

Maybe someone kept them as insurance in the event of capture.

Ollie is on... 3rd light armored recon battalion recovered at least 6 - don't know about a seventh.

Franks says they appear to be healthy.

For what it's worth. An Iraqi expert who appeared reasonably credible to me said Saddam would keep the POWs close to him so Tikrit makes sense. Also wondering about the RG battalion that left Tikrit. Was it because the higher ups were leaving and they wanted us to lighten our troops going to Tikrit??

Guess we'll have to wait and see.
