Americans rescued in Iraq

Geez, I can't believe no one posted this yet. One, according to CNN, is a black woman. Looks like the seven POWS.

I'm just getting up.... it's Sunday morning, don't you EVER sleep? lol

So far they haven't announced whether these are the 7 POWs or the 6 MIAs. I suppose it will take some time to contact each family and then they'll make a formal announcement.

Well CNN announced that it was the 6 MIA's and 1 POW. But they are always changing their story. I suppose I should say:

CNN speculated that it was the 6 MIA's and 1 POW.

Thanks for clearing up the confusion with CNN's "speculations." :)

This 24/7 news coverage forces the media to blab on & on and really does a great disservice to the public.

These days, the media makes the news more than reports the news. Scary.

Yep, Mel. It has now been reported that Jessica has fallen down another well! Just kidding!:D

LOL!!!!!!

Pfc. Patrick Miller is from my home town.

It's good to know he's coming back safe.

Shoshana Johnson looks like she's lost quite a bit of weight, compared to how she appeared in the Iraqi video early in the war.

They are inter viewing Miller on Fox right now.

Eighteen Kuwaiti prisoners of war have been liberated. They were taken prisoner during Gulf War episode I.

That's a serious chunk of your life to spend in captivity.
