Fiends raped Jessica
By PAUL D. COLFORD and CORKY SIEMASZKO DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITERS
Pvt. Jessica Lynch
Jessica Lynch was brutally raped by her Iraqi captors. That is the shocking revelation in "I Am a Soldier, Too," the much-anticipated authorized biography of the former POW. A copy of the book was obtained by The Daily News yesterday.
Best selling author Rick Bragg tells Lynch's story for her, often using her own words. Thankfully, she has no memory of the rape.
"Jessi lost three hours," Bragg wrote. "She lost them in the snapping bones, in the crash of the Humvee, in the torment her enemies inflicted on her after she was pulled from it."

I too was hoping the big announcement was a dead Saddam or at least that all the POA's had been found and rescued. But I can't understand how you can be a living, breathing human being and not be moved by what this poor girl has gone through. The fact that the media made her their darling or that others suffered too, doesn't diminish what she has been through.

"Um, what is so shocking about a captor being raped? Exactly!" Captors are the ones doing the raping. Captives are the vics. It is rare indeed for a captor to be raped by his captive.

I don't know. I have a real stoic streak in me. The day my dad died, I went to school and took a mid term.

""F" Off And Die." I thought it was Foreign Object Aircraft Damage. Like birds being ingested into jet intakes. Silly me.

And I didn't mean to diminish what she went through. I realize it came across that way. Fact is, lots of people go through all kinds of bad stuff every single day. I can't be moved by all of it. What are we supposed to do? I am not a total space alien. Some things move me very strongly, and to tell you the truth, it can be an unpleasant experience, to say the least. For example, the jumpers off the trade towers on 9-11. I didn't watch any of the videos that came out. It was all too disturbing. Why do I want to expose my emotions to that? Or that horrible club fire where the rock band was playing and those poor kids got trapped? Horrible, horrible story. But I distanced myself from it as soon as possible. I don't know. Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut.

Meanwhile...a LtCol is somewhere trying to retire after firing a shot past an Iraqi policeman's head. Maybe he should've anally raped him to avoid that whole Geneva Convention thing.

At a minimun raping POWs is a war crime. At a minimum the Hussein regime perpetrated crimes of humanity. Lynch's story is representative of this evil.
I understand your view that the story may be overused for it's sensationalistic features. Still, the hype does not diminish the crime.

The world already knows rape is Standard Operationg Procedure for islamic terrorists, just like the KLA did in Serbia, Kosovo,and anywhere your good people raise their charming head.

We are being far too "sensitive" with these medieval savages. Scorched earth policy called for right now.

Captors are the ones doing the raping. Captives are the vics. Do ya think?
I knew what the poster meant.

She was anally raped. This can produce serious, lasting damage. At times the victims of an anal rape have to wear colostomy bags. She doesn't have to remember for the doctors to see what happened to her. Just like with the splintered bones--the evidence is there.

Apoparently, raped is just raped, but when the person is otherwise abused, it is brutal.

Thank you for the correction.

Or "captive" would have worked.
