Last week, MSNBC's Kerry Sanders reported from outside a hospital U.S. Marines had taken over in An Nasiriyah. An Nasiriyah is the town where the five soldiers on a supply run were taken into custody by the Iraqis. It's also where Jessica Lynch and another soldier disappeared.

Sanders said marines showed him at least one bloody shredded female U.S. uniform found in one room of the hospital, and in another room, a large battery charger, from which it was speculated that the g.i.'s had been tortured. On March 28, on the Brian Williams Show, Sanders said:

The hospital, if that's what it ever was, is now under full control of U.S. forces. The 2nd Battalion, 8th Marines, making a disturbing discovery here.

In a back room, the uniform of at least one U.S. service woman. It was cut up and covered in blood, the name patch and American flag torn off.

STAFF SGT. RICK ST. JOHN, U.S. MARINE CORPS: Originally, when we did the breach on the room, we saw the battery laying next to the bed, and we assumed it may have been a torture chamber, some sort of torture device.

SANDERS (on camera): While hospitals worldwide all have areas to hold unruly patients, in this hospital U.S. Marines suspect this part may have been used to detain American prisoners of war..... [transcript, Lexis.Com]

On March 29, Sanders said, "US military intelligence officers say they suspect the hospital was used by Iraqi soldiers as a headquarters."

The tv news tonight reports that Jessica had some gunshot wounds. CNN just reported she had "been through quite an ordeal."

Hopefully, if one of the bloodied uniforms was Jessica's, the blood was from a gunshot wound, not from being tortured. However, MSNBC also is reporting that the gunshot wounds occurred during Jessica's rescue, and that she had been held in the hospital since March 23 when she disappeared. The Pentagon is being very close-mouthed about the details of Jessica's rescue and her captivity. We hope she wasn't tortured and wish her a speedy recovery.

Update from Reuters on the "daring midnight raid."

She was said to be doing well, but CNN reported that Lynch had suffered had suffered multiple gunshot wounds at some point during her ordeal in Iraq that made it hard to move her. ....Military officials would not discuss the fate of the other captives, but CNN reported that Lynch's rescue team also brought out the bodies of up to 11 people believed to be U.S. soldiers."
