Not our only Iraq POW from Talequah, OK;

Interesting UK Guardian report;

BBC report and info on their upcoming show War Spin.

I think it is interesting that the producer of the tv show COPS was on board with the Pentagon advising them on setting up and producing the reality show Stories from the Front Line or whatever it was called. It's mentioned in the links I provided, as well as info on him.
