| One Special Op. Rescued in Afghanistan |
| 2005-07-03 |
| Posted on CNN: 10:49 a.m. EDT One member of a U.S. special operations reconnaissance team missing in Afghanistan since Tuesday has been rescued, a U.S. official speaking on condition of anonymity told CNN. The team member "evaded the enemy and was successfully rescued by U.S. forces," the official said. No other details are being released because the search for other missing members of the team continues, the official said. Old Spook, the efforts of you and your comrades are paying off. May all the rest of those found also be living. Our thoughts and prayers are with those at home and in the wild mountains of Afghanistan working to retrieve the remaining of their fellows and avenge their dead. |

| #6 What exciting news, I sure hope they are found quickly and are okay. SEALS are pretty damn amazing folks. :) Can't wait to hear how they probably got back at the Taliban guys |

| #5 Generally a team or section doesn't split up unless as it is as last resort, e.g. in danger of being overwhelmed or some other severe condition. It may confuse and cause enemy forces to diverge but it also makes it harder for US recovery efforts to find them. GOOD LUCK TO THESE MEN, AND GIVE 'EM HELL! |

| #1 Fox had a sentence slip out that the military expected to find the other three *alive* based on what the first rescuee told them. Haven't heard anything like that since, but hoping |
