| #9 there's some ugly speculation going on on other sites, notably Command Post, and while I hope they aren't right, it doesn't need to be in the public realm. The truth should be passed on to the 3rd ID , 4th when they arrive, and no quarter shown to the f*&king bastards who did this. Also, the truth should be shown to the UN, NATO and other pussies who've watered down efforts to kill these bastards. Chirac? This one's for you. To our anti-war protestors? you better stay outta my way |

| #7 In Gulf War 1 there were two, a Flt Surgeon Major and a PFC or Specialist truck driver. There numerous U.S. women POW in WWII mostly taken in the Phillipines and Java. I don't believe there were any in WWI. |

| #6 God bless PFC Lynch, who has probably been through unspeakable hell. May her recovery be swift and her nightmares few. |

| #5 As I recall, there were several female POWs during GW1. At least 1 anyway. I'm not absolutely sure about that though so take it with a grain of salt. God bless America and those Rangers & SEALs! |

| #4 Great news! Here's a better picture: http://www.warblogging.com/archives/000585.php Anyone know if we've ever had female POW's before this war? |

| #2 Fox just said the same thing - but from The Command Post blog, it sounds like only one, and it was from that Apache crew |

| #1 Early reports (from my local Channel 10 news) are saying that some POWs have been rescued, but that no one knows whose soldier's they are. Where are those embedded reporters when you need one? |

One POW has been extracted. Details will be made available later, after next of kin have been notified.
