Do you think the Media is out to get Lynch?

Of course.

Do you think the Pentagon taped the rescue to use as propaganda?

No. They allowed the media to have it for morale. Propaganda implies lies.

Do you think the Media and the Pentagon are in cahoots?

Of course not.

Do you think that writing a book is a sign of wanting to be left alone?

It's a sign of wanting the truth to be known so idiots will stop making false accusations.

Do you think that the Pentagon never adjusted its statements as to what happened as more facts became available?

I don't know. What were their initial claims?

One thing is for certain - the media used Lynch to push social and political agenda and the Pentagon used the situation to turn morale about the war around.

I disagree about the media. They were trying to get a story and went too soon on sketchy evidence. When they propagandize, it's more subtle and they do it when they know it'll be hard to prove. This was too easy to shoot down and therefore it was jumping the gun, not a conspiracy.

One agenda was wrong and one was right - which side will Lynch take? Who will she slam as being wrong?

Who cares. I'm just appreciative of her sacrifices for her country and everyone else who is sitting comfortably on these shores should be also and not worry about every detail of her personality.

I for one am gald to see she knows what makes a real hero.

Everyone has a different definition.

Thank you for answering.

Your answers show your point of view. I happen to disagree, but then I was wrong once before.

I have yet to see one bit of bad press about Lynch.

Giving the video of a rescue to boast morale implies no lies to me.

Funny that some here think everyone is out to get Lynch. Kind of make thems heros - protecting her from the media, the pentagon, Bush and the "haters".

If the intentions was to limit false accusations, why not make a written statement and refuse interviews and book promotions? Why even write a book?
The pentagon did nothing wrong in releasing the video and there was nothing wrong with using it to boast morale. Lynch is wrong. The media should be her target, yet she grants them interviews where they can control the dissemination. Interesting.
