"Hamill says OK to Fox News TV interview
By Gary Pettus gpettus@clarionledger.com
Former Iraqi hostage Thomas Hamill of Macon will speak on camera in an interview airing at 8 p.m. Saturday on cable TV's Fox News Channel.
Rita Cosby, senior correspondent, conducted the taped interview in Macon with Hamill and his wife, Kellie, for Fox's The Big Story Weekend Edition.
Fox is billing this as Hamill's "first television interview." He was kidnapped from a convoy in Iraq on April 9 and escaped three weeks later.
"He's an incredible example of a true American," said Cosby, who interviewed Hamill once before, by phone, on May 8. "He went over to Iraq not just for the money but because he also believes in his country."
The interview should reveal more details about Hamill's ordeal, Cosby said.
"He seems to remember things in very vivid detail and with a lot of clarity."
Cosby said she was able to get the interview because the Hamill family has favored Fox's coverage of the Iraqi War and because Cosby's father was a prisoner-of-war himself, having escaped from a German Stalag near Dresden during World War II.
