It begins, propaganda vs other propaganda.

Just for breathing in the air they wanna leave me in the chair
Electric shocking body rocking beat streeting me to death"

Maybe, but why would a doctor lie about something like that after the regime is gone?

She may have a problem with the US for one reason or another.

Interesting article. We won't be seing that side of the story on Fox, CNN, or Rush Limbaugh's syndicated show!

Yeah, now we get to the fun of claim and counter claim with each side picking the version they like best. And after all that I doubt we'll ever learn the truth.

possibly, but it reeks of propaganda. Vympel, when presented with information with even the faintest scent of propaganda from the opposing viewpoint beats the anti-propaganda drum as loud as he can. it seems hypocritical to me.

Take it as you find it. I made my opinion on it perfectly clear in my reply to Gandalf's post. Quite frankly, I find the claim that I'm 'cynical' laughable- everything that I've called propaganda has been 8)

Has it ever been made clear wether she was shot or not? There seems to be confusion on this one.

This article is probably full of some truths and some fabrications like many stories from a war zone.

No, her father said she wasn't shot, IIRC.

Are you ready to stop bitching about the whole thing yet? Few hear are hyping it like the media is, in fact you seem to be the only one who constantly talks about it.

Maybe its because she got all the media coverage while the other POWs got a small spot on the news,they were there longer but who got the movie of the week,(the pretty blond white girl.) :roll:

Face it, she was the first rescued and is nearly perfect for the dramatic personal story. Like it or not individual stories (especially of attractive young women) make better stories.

Besides, how often is it that we rescue POWs directly?

And how does this doctor's testimony on her treatment line up with the Iraqi lawyer who told our people where Lynch was in the first place, who described her being slapped by Iraqi MI?

Finally.... A) you don't think our people would bother acting up apparently false intel that they didn't know is false and look for Chemical Ali, or that they wouldn't fire on a vehicle moving toward them when said vehicle could just as easily be filled with explosives or gun-toting Fedayeen?
