This is no April Fools joke. Shep Smith just reported that an American POW has been rescued. No details yet. Breifing from CENTCOM in 30 minutes.

They should all be rescured, but if it has to be only one, I pray that Shoshana Johnson is on her way home. A woman could not possibly survive the tortuous ordeal of being held by those Iraqi creeps.

There is nothing more satisfying to the military than to rescue one of their own, even more satisfying than enemy KIAs in a good firefight. God Bless them all.

MSNBC is reporting the same thing.

The source is the Pentagon. "At least one prisoner of war rescued." No more info yet pending family notification according to MSNBC.

For sure. I'm waiting to hear if Jesse Jackson did indeed go as he intended; read only a crawl that he and other religious leaders had been asked to go. Oh, I wish they'd keep him for ransom.

Or Speicher...he's been there for over a decade. Doubtful it's him, though.

U.S. Official Says American POW Rescued

WASHINGTON - An American prisoner of war has been rescued in Iraq, a U.S. official said Tuesday.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said U.S. Central Command was announcing the rescue in Qatar later Tuesday.

The Pentagon (news - web sites) has listed seven Americans as captured by Iraq since the outbreak of the war.

Finally some good news.

We should ask Rev. Jesse Jackson to offer himself in exchange for our POWs.

Is this one of those cases where Jesse says he was asked and the other people say he asked them?

Knowing Jesse, he would have one of his kids installed as the head of Al-Jazeera, and the other awarded a Mecca Cola bottling plant, for his services.
