Please do something for my son,' mother urges Bush

A WOMAN who said she saw her son interviewed on Iraqi television as one of the US soldiers taken prisoner has begged US President George W Bush: "Please do something for my son".

Anecita Hudson of Alamogordo, New Mexico said she saw her 23-year-old son, Army Spc Joseph Hudson, who was stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas, interviewed in the Iraqi video, which was carried on a Filipino television station she subscribes to.

"I saw my son and I said, 'Oh, my God.' He looked so scared. I started crying," Mrs Hudson, who is of Filipino ancestry, said.
