This is a great story. Reminds me a little of Dagan...
BEAUFORT, Mo. -- Mitchell Hults is a young man of few words. But when it mattered most, he talked late into the night, giving authorities the information they needed to rescue his friend and another boy held captive.
At a surprise ceremony Tuesday honoring the 15-year-old at Union High School, investigators said they never could have broken the case without him.
''I hope that as you grow older, you would consider law enforcement as a career option,'' FBI agent Roland Corvington said to Mitchell.
The only statement Mitchell made came from one of his favorite comedians, Larry the Cable Guy.
''Git 'er done!'' Mitchell cried into the microphone. The crowd roared.
Mitchell was with classmate Ben Ownby just minutes before he disappeared Jan. 8 after getting off their school bus. Mitchell spotted a white pickup fleeing the scene, and his detailed description led police in suburban St. Louis to spot the truck Thursday.
A day later, Ben was freed from an apartment where he was held captive. Astonishingly, so was 15-year-old Shawn Hornbeck of nearby Richwoods, who disappeared in 2002.
Franklin County Sheriff Gary Toelke said Mitchell's description of the white Nissan pickup was remarkably detailed. Friends and family say that's because Mitchell is a truck fanatic.
''He was so accurate in what he told us, we kind of wondered if he made it up,'' Toelke said.

I don't care if this guy is a Republican Congressman...
I'm totally voting for him in '08, but only after reading this speech he gave on the House floor in 2002. He makes the most sense of any politician I've ever known of and his views are very populist.
Just watch the mainstream media tear this guy's reputation a new one over the next two years, should he decide to run (apparently he already has). I really hope he gets a chance. Take some time to read the speech I linked to, its totally worth it. Peace
