As for the rest of your post wherein you say that I have no hesitation believing some vague CNN article, I have to wonder where you got that. I'd like you to show me where in my posts I even referenced the CNN article or commented on its content.
If you bother to look and be honest about things you will see that there is no basis at all in my writing for what you attribute to me. My only concern on this entire thread has been with accuracy and reliability of sources. I repeat that quoting a source who profers an opinion and then says "I don't know" as proof of anything is intellectually lazy and plain dumb.
And here you are proving my point by dishonestly and inaccurately stating a position in my name.
Oh brother. If you really wanted to be accurate you'd have mentioned that Saddam's thugs were there at the hospital making it highly likely she was mistreated. Instead you keep bleating about "no evidence she was mistreated". Your points fly in the face of common sense.
I know you read the article. The doctor quoted examined Lynch before she came home and his opinion is that her injuries were not consistent with injuries caused by car crashes. He stated the injuries may have been caused by rifle butts or stomping on her limbs. I will admit that she was unconscious so he could not get any history from her, therefor he does not know what happened. Still, I find his statement has value. You, however, have not linked the sources you reference even though asked.
What a tired sophomoric and unfortunately predictable tactic.
Since we're predicting, I predict you will pompously reply with some underhanded insult. It doesn't matter to whom you're responding.
PS Your posts to me do make me smile. Live with it.
