Congratulations to CIA!

ABCNEWS has learned that the CIA assisted in the rescue of Army Pfc. Jessica Lynch in Nasiriyah last week by covertly videotaping the former POW as she lay in an Iraqi hospital bed days before her dramatic rescue.

U.S. intelligence sources told ABCNEWS that the CIA, acting on a tip, gave a concealable camera to a paid informant who videotaped the inside of a hospital where Lynch was being held.

The following day, a U.S. special forces team went in knowing exactly where to go and rescued Lynch, said U.S. intelligence sources.

The former POW is recovering from her injuries at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington.

NOTE: JUNE 7, 2003 -This story appears to be suspect in many regards as new information is coming to light. It may all very well be a piece of propoganda put out by the Pentagon. In any event, it should be treated accordingly.
