Nine of the 11 corpses recovered from a Nasiriyah hospital during the rescue of Pfc. Jessica Lynch are U.S. soldiers and most are believed to be from the Army’s 507th Maintenance Company, U.S. military officials told NBC News. The bodies are being returned to the United States for forensic identification. Lynch and 14 other members of the unit were attacked on March 23 after their convoy made a wrong turn in Nasiriyah. Two soldiers were killed in the attack, eight others had been listed as missing and five were listed as POWs after they were shown on Iraqi television. That TV report also showed the bodies of what appeared to be several U.S. soldiers. Pentagon officials charged they had been executed, which Iraq denied. The officials said they had no additional information on the five POWs.
I wonder what the Iraqis taken POW to Iraqi POW's found in a shallow grave ratio is? Betcha the Left doesn't compare those two stats. |
