#11  Yeah Fox hit this with the little bit of info they had a little bit ago and indicated it was a translator and, thus, probably not a US soldier.

Sounds like he's both: translator and USA officer.

Via foxnews.com: An employee at Baghdad's al-Furat TV, which was raided by American forces earlier Monday, said the U.S. forces conducting the search told him they were looking for an abducted American officer of Iraqi descent.

I read elsewhere that he's an American of Iraqi descent and a US soldier.

God be with him and his family.

#10  And after the Iraqi National Security Advisor, or some such office, found out about the weapons seizure, he ordered (successfully) the US to return the weapons.

#4  Television stations now have their own private weapons caches? What do the reporters imagine is happening beyond the entry lobby doors?

#3   CNN's John Roberts just reported that US troops have raided a private Iraqi TV station in connection with the search for the missing soldier and uncovered a large cache of weapons and explosives.

#1  Holy Shiite!

CNN's John Roberts just reported that US troops have raided a private Iraqi TV station in connection with the search for the missing soldier and uncovered a large cache of weapons and explosives. They are also reporting that the missing person is not an American but an Iraqi translator. Roberts is embedded with the same unit as the missing translator.
