DIANA WEST:

Washington Times columnist Diana West writes a weekly commentary column for Newspaper Enterprise Association. A conservative with a strong bent for cultural commentary, West explores topics few writers touch upon - from whether Islam is really a religion of peace, to whether Howard Dean was as good a governor as his campaign claims he was, to society's bizarre efforts to protect children from Mother's Day, to the rise of "PC" summer camps in Vermont - presenting all in a deft, often humorous manner.

"I feel that such an approach, besides being more readable, is also more persuasive than a steady output of sober jeremiads," says West. "Not that I haven't been known to do a few of those, but I do strive to slip in a few zingers. In other words, mine is not a who's up, who's down Beltway column; nor is it just another take on the Big Story-of-the-Week. Instead, I am fascinated by the culture stories, the ones that reveal who we are as a people."

West's column has appeared in NEA since 2001. A journalist with experience in feature writing, political coverage and arts criticism, West joined The Washington Times' editorial page in 1999 to comment on cultural and social issues, along with a range of political affairs, including Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign, sundry Clinton scandals and the ongoing fight over the judiciary, resigning in 2002 to pursue other writing projects. She won second place for editorial writing in the Maryland-Delaware-DC Press Association Contest (largest daily division) in 2001. In 1990, she won a first place prize in feature writing from the National Newspaper Association for a two-part story on the David Baltimore affair, a scientific fraud controversy involving the Nobel prizewinner.

West has contributed essays and features to many publications, including The Wall Street Journal, The Weekly Standard, The Washington Post, Commentary, The New Criterion, The Public Interest and The Women's Quarterly. She has also written fiction for The Atlantic Monthly and has been a columnist for Scripps Howard News Service.

Born and raised in Hollywood, West spent a year as a youngster living in Ireland with her family. She went on to graduate from Yale with a B.A. in English. A Washingtonian for many years, she lives in the nation's capital with her husband and two daughters.

SHOSHANA JOHNSON:

Shoshana Johnson, a native of Panama, moved to the United States with her family when she was five years old. Johnson, a second-generation U.S. Army Veteran, joined the Army in September 1998 to earn money to attend culinary-arts school. In February 2003, her unit was deployed to Iraq where she served as a food service specialist.

She was one of seven soldiers captured in Iraq on March 23, 2003 during a vicious ambush, when the 507th Maintenance Ordinance Co. that supported the 3rd Infantry took a wrong turn near Nassiriya. Three women soldiers were part of that ill-fated unit, Army Pfc. Lori Ann Piestewa, Pfc. Jessica Lynch and Johnson. Army Specialist Shoshana Johnson is believed to be the first African American woman to be taken as a prisoner of war. Piestewa, the first Native American woman ever killed in combat, died from injuries she sustained when the vehicle she was driving crashed during the surprise attack. Both Johnson and Lynch were wounded and captured by the insurgents. Nine of the women’s companions were killed during the attack. Lynch was later rescued on April 2, 2003. Johnson was seized, along with six of her comrades, and spent 22 days in captivity before they were rescued by the military on April 13, 2003.

Johnson was shot twice, once in each leg, and endured weeks of cruel confinement. She was exposed to the world through the cameras of her Iraqi captors. Her face, drawn with fear, was etched into the memories of folks around the globe.

Johnson suffered harsh treatment during her 22-day ordeal. She was beaten, slapped, and punched in the stomach and back. Because she is female, the insurgents held her in isolation, away from the other soldiers.

Johnson credits her faith in God and prayer for getting her through the long searing days of imprisonment. “I prayed that I would survive, but I also prayed that if I didn't, that at least my body would be found,” she said. “ I wanted my parents to have a body to bury, because if they didn't have a body to bury, they wouldn't be at peace. I know my mother. She wouldn't give up until she had a body. I prayed, ‘Lord, if I die, make it quick, and let my body go home to my mother.’

“I had long conversations with God and tried to think positively. I remember thinking things like how I wanted to date again, and how I wanted to take my daughter to Disney World. I kept telling myself that some day I would be going home to my family and daughter.”

On April 13, after successive house raids conducted by U.S. Marines, Johnson and her fellow soldiers were rescued. Johnson emerged for the prison-house shuffling as fast as she could on her wounded legs to a rescue helicopter. On their April 16 return to the United States Johnson and her buddies were met by a cheering crowd of some 3,000 admirers.

The Army honored the seven soldiers for their courage, valor, and service with several awards. Shoshana Johnson was awarded the Bronze Star, Purple Heart, and the Prisoner of War Medal for her service in Iraq.

Johnson virtually disappeared after her return to the United States. She had difficulty sleeping, suffered from depression and post-traumatic stress syndrome for more than a year. Though able to deal with the mental aspect much better now, she still experiences pain in her legs and back from the wounds she received. After serving five years, she has since retired from the military.

Johnson shies away from the “hero” label saying, “I'm a survivor, not a hero. The heroes are the soldiers who paid the ultimate price and the Marines who risked their lives to rescue us. They took a chance and because they did, I'm here.”
