Say a little prayer

A US soldier, an American of Iraqi descent who was serving as a translator, has gone missing.

The AP adds this cryptic little bit, "American troops who raided Baghdad's al-Furat TV on Monday said they were looking for an abducted American officer of Iraqi descent who went to join family members in Karradah."

Whether that's the case or whether that was just a cover story is unclear. Let's hope that's the case, because you would think an American soldier with Iraqi roots would be a target of special interest.
