The reports that have been made by the Army haven't glorified her involvement or portrayed her in some light that could be considered propoganda (as Pvt. Lynch asserted in the Diane Sawyer interview, which was the spark that lit this thread's fire).

She never said propaganda, she was referring to using her to boost morale. She was saying that they could've used the rescuers or others to do that. You guys are making a big deal out of nothing.

she was referring to using her to boost morale.

First of all, what's wrong with that?

Second, she indicated that she wasn't pleased with the use of the video of her rescue. That's the facts. I am baffled by why she could possibly be displeased with boosting the troops morale. Further, she can't use the video as the focus of "boosting morale", because most of the troops in the field heard about it before they ever saw it.

Her rescue, if anything, is what boosted morale; not a video of the rescue.

Look, dude, I'm not upset at her, per se. I just wish that she would have been mindful of what she said to the media. It may have been inadvertant, but she threw a huge amount of "red meat" the liberal press by even intoning that the Pentagon had done something inappropriate vis-a-vis showing the video of her rescue.

And if you don't believe me that Jessica Lynch has thrown the liberals red meat, see the following link:

Jesse Jackson: Bush Selling War, Hiding Casualties

So, the Slogan-master had this to say:

"[Jackson] mentions that Jessica Lynch disputes the pentagon version of what happened to her – even though she was unconscious most of the time and doesn't remember, so who really knows what happened? – in order to point out that the Pentagon is trying to give the Iraq war an "image.""
So, you can believe what you want to believe. I just wish that Jessica would clarify what she said. If they (the liberals) are taking her out of context, than she should be the ones that clears it up...not you. If, however, she meant what she said, then I would tell her to respect the troops that are still in the field and keep her comments to herself.
