"NATO rescues aid workers held by Afghan militants" by Deb Riechmann | Associated Press, June 03, 2012
KABUL - It was a risky but successful operation: British and other NATO forces stormed a cave tucked in the mountains before dawn Saturday and rescued two female foreign aid workers and their two Afghan colleagues being held hostage by Taliban-linked militants.
Who are these people, huh?
Helicopters, flying under the cover of darkness, ferried the rescue team to extreme northeastern Afghanistan where they suspected the hostages were being held.
If this were a History Channel program the narrator would tell us Afghan witnesses on the ground described a silver, disc-shaped object hovering overhead.

Isn't that the same team that allegedly got that dead guy?

That's the way I also see this latest operation, with the "rescue," -- if there ever really was one (Jessica Lynch, anyone?) -- providing the same agenda-pushing boost from a public relations point of view. Need to stay because we are literally saving people.
