] Mohammad walked through battles in the city streets for ] two straight days to get back to the hospital. His ] main mission was to watch the guards, but each morning he ] attempted to keep Lynch's spirits strong with a "good ] morning" in English. ] ] He said she was brave throughout the ordeal. ] ] When reporting back to the Marines on March 30, he ] brought five different maps he and his wife made. He was ] able to point to the exact room the captured soldier was ] being held in. He also handed over the security layout, ] reaction plan and times that shift changes occurred. I have mixed feelings about this article. On the one hand, if true, it depicts remarkable bravery and actions on the part of the Iraqi who played the go-between. On the other, it seems to indicate that the Marines knew exactly where Jessica was being held for several days, but that they didn't attempt a rescue until the Iraqi informant came back and handed over detailed maps and shift schedules of the hospital. In any case, it's a moving story. |
