This was mentioned on Fox that a man that worked in the Iraqi hospital said no gun shot wounds.

That is just awesome what that man did for Jessica! He knew he was putting his family at risk, but he trusted the AMERICANS, knowing that the soldiers would help them.

What would you rather hear reported on the Nat'l news?

The Truth.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

If you weren't a fool you'd know that anytime breaking news occurs there are lots of stories that turn out not to be true. Not necessarily an agenda here. After all, what sense would it be to make up something like this when it's going to be discovered within 24 hours.

" Doctors in the Saddam Hussein Hospital spoke of AMPUTATING Jessica's legs. "

omg, how horrible! I worry about her lack of feeling in her feet...hopefully the nerve damage will reverse itself.

Good question. Perhaps they're trying to find out who's leaking like a sieve -- especially after being asked not to report on various items until Centcom can do so. Good tactic -- someone's looking pretty stupid right about now.

[alethia]

By the way -- I absolutely believe that Jessica's injuries are very serious -- my prayers are with her. I also believe she's a courageous young woman -- no, make that one courageous soldier.

Trauma wounds can be deceiving, even to medical professionals. There is a report that the Iraqi doctors were going to amputate, leading to the possible conclusion that her "broken leg" was a compound fracture. Such a wound could easily be mistaken for a gunshot wound. She was reported to be shot in the leg.

But don't let me get in the way of your fanciful conspiracy theorizing, if that's what keeps you going.

[Trailerpark Badass]

I'm no doctor, but could this be caused by swelling from the broken legs?

The fact she had back surgery first indicates that that's not the case here.

[wardaddy]

Careful...these threads draw FR's "babes in battle" brigade like flies.

[X-FID]

Wow, I get a lesson in how "Breaking News" works from you, P!ss off clown.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

You obviously aren't very receptive to your lesson. You're the fool.

[X-FID]

The only lesson I got from you is "don't to respond to a moronic troll", which you apparently are.

[Hila]

Of course she was injured, they will tell us why her back was messed up. They will also have to tell about the wounds, if there were truly gunshots. Don't believe what the dad is saying - for whatever reason he seems to be lying. He is sounding like the peacenicks, those Iraqis treated Jessica real nice - please!

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

Yeah, I'm a troll. Get a life.

You really must keep up.

The Washington Post reported that Jessica had gunshot wounds. The father is saying that her doctor hasn't seen evidence of those type of wounds. The government hasn't made any comment about wether she was shot or not. Ever think that maybe a reporter misunderstood info he got or that that he father is misunderstanding something? Why assume that everyone or someone in particular must have some sort of motive or assume that they are intentionally lying?

[X-FID]

I got one troll, why don't you?

WT* is wrong with you? His comments were made days ago and based on what he was told by the military doctor. Check out the date on the article and the reference to the parents NOT flying to Germany. Things change and new facts emerge.
