All hostile Iraqis had fled the hospital the previous day.
The Docs were happy to get her someplace where she could recieve the care she needed.
The military could just as easily have sent a taxi to pick her up.

American doctors initially stated that she was not shot...but the same doctors upon further investigation of her wounds later stated that she had in fact been shot. That is the last report that I heard. I do not recall what was said about being stabbed.
It is immaterial if the military could have sent a taxi to pick her up. Taxi cabs are not used in military operations. The "resuce" was SOP for a military "rescue" operation in a hostile AO.
