Interview with this soldier coming up on CNN in a few minutes.

Turns out the bullett grazed his thumb and deflected it slightly, so it didn't hit him straight on. He ended up with a welt the size of a fist on his pec, right over his heart.

As the tape rolled, you could see him pointing in the direction of the sniper, and then you see 3 humvees roll into the picture and head for the sniper with their turrets turning toward the insurgents. They translated as the one of the insurgents was yelling get out. They got out of the van or whatever, and ran. rock:
