Candid Cameras

During the Iraq War in 2003, U.S. Special Operations Forces rescued
Pfc. Jessica Lynch from a hospital in Baghdad. It was the first
successful rescue of an American prisoner of war since World War
II, and the first-ever rescue of a woman. In this episode, you’ll
learn how a DIA team hid a camera in a gym bag to record video of
the hospital’s interior, which was used for the rescue mission.
You’ll also hear from former NBC News correspondent Kerry Sanders,
whose camera crew was embedded with a Marine unit during the war
and had exclusive access to stories, including knowledge of when
the rescue attempt for Lynch would take place.
