Glen at Intapundit found out about it and links to a Chaplain's account:
A brief excerpt of a long long day:
bq. I walked in and found him lying on the bed with a tube in his throat, and no signs of consciousness. There were two nurses tending to him in his final moments. One had a clipboard so I assumed she'd have the information I wanted. I turned to her and asked if she knew his name. Without hesitation the other nurse, with no papers, blurted out his first, middle, and last name. She had obviously taken this one personally. I'll call him "Wayne". I placed my hand on his head and lightly stroked his dark hair. Immediately my mind went to my Grandpa's funeral when I touched his soft grey hair for the last time. And for the second time in as many hours I prayed wondering if it would do any good, but knowing that God is faithful and can do more than I even imagine. When I finished I looked up at the nurse who had known his name. She looked composed but struggling to stay so. I asked, "Are you OK?" and she broke down. I put my arm around her to comfort and encourage her. She said, "I was fine until you asked!" Then she explained that this was the third patient to die on her that day.
Wretchard at The Belmont Club:
bq. Of the first three factors, the advantage of choosing the weakest point of attack has been a combatant's right from time immemorial. That is a purely military condition. But the enemy ability to exploit the limits of American response and attack medical personnel with public relations impunity are examples of military advantages that arise from political restraints. To the extent the blogosphere can dispel the propaganda cover willingly provided by the Left, people on the home front can help the soldiers in the field. It is necessary to link the war criminal behavior of the enemy with the studied blindness of 'sophisticates' towards their most heinous crimes. They are twinned; with the former made possible by the latter. The Daily Telegraph describes how some European agencies actually refuse to look at mass grave sites to avoid being party to the punishment of war criminals.
And finally Kim DuToit: bq. I apologize for posting this without too much information at hand. bq. Fox News has just reported a rocket attack on a U.S. Army base in Mosul, and 19 U.S. soldiers have been killed. bq. The base in question is the 1/25 Inf Bn, out of Fort Lewis, WA. bq. That's Walter and Adam's unit. bq. As soon as I know more, I'll post it. Walter and Adam are two friends of Kim's readers. They are sharpshooters in the Army and there was recently a wonderful (and sucessful) fundraising drive to get each the best long-range target scope available (actually three - one spare). Let us pra for Walter and Adam's sucess...Lack of European experts has held up the excavation of mass graves in Iraq, according to an American human rights lawyer working on the investigation. Greg Kehoe said the experts were not joining in because evidence might be used to sentence Saddam Hussein to death. ...
