Actually, FRiend, no one had heard of her until after she was picked up from the Iraqi hospital. It was the day after that we started hearing the distorted stories of her heroic last stand, the firing until she ran out of ammo, sustaining of numerous bullet and stab wounds, etc.

That is true, but just to clarify, I was refering to the American hospitals in Germany and the U.S. where she was sheilded from the press, other patients and everyone else except her family while she recovered. The Pentagon had ample opportunity to correct the media's distortions while she was incommunicado, but chose to let it go for some reason. I know they were busy running a war and then occupation, but they did and still do have a daily press breifing.

As for Lynch having said nothing to deny the lies, by the time she was released from the hospital, the Army's report had been out for a month. The facts had been presented already. What could she have added, if in fact she was permitted to talk about it?

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner...yesterday was quite busy.

"The Pentagon had ample opportunity to correct the media's distortions while she was incommunicado, but chose to let it go for some reason."

Can you say DACOWITS? Lynch's doctor in Germany came out the day after she got there and stated she had not suffered any gunshot or stab wounds, and in fact her injuries were consistent with those usually suffered in auto accidents. The Pentagon came out immediately and overruled the doctor's statement, again saying Lynch had been shot and stabbed. What could this be, other than a blatant attempt to make her story into something it wasn't, for political purposes at the Pentagon. This smells of DACOWITS so badly the stench was overpowering all the way down here in Florida!

"What could she have added, if in fact she was permitted to talk about it?"

She could have put her all-important stamp on the truth, so the American Sheeple, who'd long since quit paying attention to developments in her story, could have known once and for all that they'd been lied to by the Pentagon and the lamestream media. Instead, many are still under the impression that she fought like Xena, when in fact she was unconscious and it was Miller, Riley, and Sloan who did what she was credited with. She could be honest and decent. Maybe the Army's telling her to keep her mouth shut, and if so, the smell of a political agenda is still overpowering. Maybe she's reveling in her 15 minutes of fame, and looking forward to the fortune coming her way. If so, she has no sense of decency.
