from the wires:
American former hostage had regular treatment in Iraq
Former American hostage Thomas Hamill, who was shot when he was abducted in Iraq, was treated for the wound and regularly received food during his three weeks in captivity, a U.S. military doctor said Tuesday.
Hamill, who escaped his captors Sunday in a daring run to freedom, has lost a few pounds but feels "in generally good health," said Maj. Kerry Jepsen, a surgeon treating Hamill at a U.S. military hospital in Germany where the ex-captive arrived Monday.
Hamill, a 43-year-old truck driver for a Halliburton subsidiary, waved to reporters with his bandaged right arm from a balcony at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center. He said he was feeling well.
