Marine Corps News: Iraqi family risks it all to save American POW
Topic: Current Events 9:14 pm EST, Apr  3, 2003

] Mohammad walked through battles in the city streets for
] two straight days to get back to the hospital. His
] main mission was to watch the guards, but each morning he
] attempted to keep Lynch's spirits strong with a "good
] morning" in English.
]
] He said she was brave throughout the ordeal.
]
] When reporting back to the Marines on March 30, he
] brought five different maps he and his wife made. He was
] able to point to the exact room the captured soldier was
] being held in. He also handed over the security layout,
] reaction plan and times that shift changes occurred.

I have mixed feelings about this article. On the one hand, if true, it depicts remarkable bravery and actions on the part of the Iraqi who played the go-between. On the other, it seems to indicate that the Marines knew exactly where Jessica was being held for several days, but that they didn't attempt a rescue until the Iraqi informant came back and handed over detailed maps and shift schedules of the hospital.

In any case, it's a moving story.
