Are there transcripts of Pentagon/Centcom briefings where we have on-the-record accounts of Army/Pentagon officials saying that Jessica Lynch went down fighting?
What about pentagon officials trying to se the record straight then? They didn't go out of their way to say that this heroic figure story was fabricated.

Is it their job to read every newspaper account and then have a press conference to correct all the wrong stories? I don't think so. I *think* they have more important things to do.
