Special mission to save baby Noor

A CNN picture

"Battle-hardened U.S. soldiers are on a mission to save a baby girl stricken with spina bifida.

U.S. National Guard troops are arranging to bring Noor to Georgia for life-saving surgery." - CNN

James Taranto of Opinion Journal wonders if this is what John Kerry was talking about a couple weeks earlier when he said that American soldiers were "going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children." CNN story here.

Taranto goes on to write:

Doctors at a U.S. military base examined Noor. Georgia's Sen. Saxby Chambliss worked to speed the visa process, and an Atlanta physician, Roger Hudgins, has promised to operate free. Lifeover Ministries reports that the girl they call "Baby Nora" and her grandmother "have airline reservations to arrive in the US."

Maybe John Kerry could write a check as a small gesture of apology to the American servicemen he has slandered over the past 35 years.
