It hasn't be confirmed by the military yet but I am sure it is true. They also say they have another hostage.
This hits close to home. The Marine lived here in Utah with his family. My thoughts and prayers are with them. :\'(

Something even more awful. The press released it and a reporter called the family for conformation. The family hadn't heard anything. Can you imagine finding out that way?
They still haven't confirmed, the family is praying. (well the leader of the mosque said that. The family hasn't been in the limelight at all)

Now the group that has him is denying it. I would hate to be his family right now...this is just a horrible thing to put a family through.

I don't think we will find out the truth until he either walks out of there or they find his body.

This is certainly very heart-wrentching and I do sincerely hope for the best for both this young man and his family. Stories of personal trajedy and potential loss (fingers crossed that it is still potential, or better still that he has been released) are always moving. The deeper issue, however, was expressed in a MASH episode exchange between Hawkeye and Henry Blake. Henry told Hawkeye that there are two rules of war. Rule 1: young men die. Rule 2: doctors can't change rule 1. But maybe the politicians that drive nations to war can be held to account for their actions. That might make them more reluctant to sacrifice "other men's sons" to their vanity and hubris - a line from another MASH episode.

Now Arab tv has said he has been released. I truly hope that this is the case.

Me too, but the deeper questions remain.
