There's news about six or seven American POWs listed as missing in Iraq.
The war's commander -- General Tommy Franks -- says they've been found alive and healthy.
He says he'll have more information later.
Meanwhile, U-S Marines are near Saddam Hussein's hometown... but its still not clear what kind of battle they'll face when they get there.
Abandoned tanks and armored vehicles line the streets of Tikrit (Tik-REET). But it's still dangerous ... as a C-N-N news crew found out when it came under fire this morning.
With combat winding down in OTHER parts of Iraq, the military is shifting its focus to stabilization.
It's creating joint patrols with Iraqi police, intended to curb rampant looting.
Secretary of State Colin Powell is already looking ahead to an Iraqi election.
He says the Iraqi people will chose their next government in democratic elections. Powell says Washington has NOT annointed Iraq's future leader.
