Hell, I'd give him attention to. What country is this from?
I reckon they don't look Iraqi.

More from the esteemed Ms. Orr

Maybe someone needs to inform the ignorant Orr that an earlier attempt to rescue the two downed Apache *male* pilots had been made and they weren't blonde.

Attempts to rescue downed pilots failed

It was one helluva fight. They've been trying to locate all POW's. Pvt. Lynch's location fell into their laps. I suppose Ms. Orr knows that, though. Would be a pitty if the world found out and uncovered the fact that Ms. Orr's agenda may be something different than what she wants us to think.

cheesy, clichéd and racist

I'd say that pretty much sums up this article. A lesson in how to destroy a beautiful moment.

what a stinking , cowardly way to imply that JL was saved because she was white and blonde...

the author couldn't come out and say what she really meant...she had to hide it in this piece of drivel.....

I wish the hell we could save all the POWs.....I wish we could bring them all back home....

we can't....

we were unbelievably lucky to get this one back.....I think her end time was very near....

He is just jealous because he has rotten teeth...they must have hurt his widdle head when he wrote this sh!t

I think that deserves space in her paper's OP section. Does it have one? Send it in!!

Excellent!!!

Uh ... That's not the same person. This Deborah Orr is a journalist in London, and you've got a Professor in Toronto.

Another excellent response for the OP section of Orr's paper.

I have no idea, but the story that the flight 93 crash was caused entirely by passengers is less plausible than a shoot-down.

However, I respect the mindset of those on board, and accept the probable myth of heroism.

The hope seems somewhat forlorn

Bull puckey.  The American officer who risked his like to save the old Iraqi woman on the bridge while under fire is no less exemplary of our distress at life endangered.

Applause. Well Done.

[SeeRushToldU_So]

Oh well, she probably needed Freeping.

[k2blader]

Agreed.

I just did a Google search on Lori Piestewa and came up with several articles. Jessica's rescue has brought Lori's family hope.

Prayers for all the POW/MIA soldiers and their families.
