    Excellent news.

    Any word on which unit the POWs were from? They're probably Marines and/or Army helo pilots, anyone know for sure?

    I wonder if we'll ever find out what happened to Scott Speicher.

    Edit: According to CNN, 2 Army helo pilots--CWO Ronald Young Jr. and CWO David Williams--and 3 soldiers from the 507th Maintenance Company--Sgt. James Riley, Spc. Shoshana Johnson and Spc. Joseph Hudson--were among those freed. Good news, I had figured all of the 507th POWs had been killed when Pfc. Lynch was getting freed.
