An article consisting of a manipulation of her by ABC, distorted by the Daily News... and people are drawing conclusions from it as if it were gospel.

Exactly. There are four threads describing her ability to survive today and yet this one thread based on shoddy reporting gets all the bashers to flock to it so they can bash this POW some more. They believe what they want to believe and the press in in full "attack Lynch"/"attack the military" mode and these bashers eat it up with no questions asked.

Put me down as a first-time basher, please.

Look, #3 Fan, many of us have been saying on these threads that it is wrong to have this "Jessica!" media circus. We have been saying that such hype was detrimental to the morale of other servicemembers and their families and even to Lynch herself. We have been saying that Lynch should be treated just as any other of the POW's or as any other of the casualties.

You, on the other hand, have been the head cheerleader on FR for the "Jessica!" hype.

Now, Lynch herself is saying what we have been saying. She does not want to be labelled a false super-heroine either by the media or by the Army or by "fans" such as yourself.

This woman needs to be treated as any other Purple Heart winner and left alone to get on with her life.
