She doesn't remember the rape. How can she remember in such detail what happened on the battlefield or during her rescue? I'm no expert on amnesia. Can it be that selective?

I'm no expert either, but I know from EMT training and personal experience that there is something called "A&O" states, which refers to Awake and Oriented. They range from 1 to 4.

- Who you are
- Where you are
- When it is
- What happened

It is very common for people to drop #4 after an "unpleasant event". I was down to just #1 after having a seizure. It is very strange, but it happens.

If the amnesia occured after she was captured then maybe it was caused by torture as much as the wreck. So much for all the bashers that said she got "excellent care" from the Iraqis.
