No one is questioning her heroism … but skeptics have every expectation that she will be made out to be the next Joan of Arc, including the cononization. Her ordeal is not being minimized, but “no food for 8 days” is probably a stretch – after all, she was in a HOSPITAL, being cared for by a pharmacist.

It's worse than that. Did you read this?

she isn't stupid.....she is going to suck into this for all its worth

You agree with that nonsense? You think a punk like owo2 has the skinny on this girl? He attacked her personally. That's cheap and it's catty (like a jealous little girl might do).

Ahhh-perspective and common sense of which there has not been much on this thread. My sentiments are with yours.

Also see #32, below--as is yours, it is very well written.

Excellent point.

Considering how the Iraqi cared enough to risk his life to inform the U.S. special ops of her location, you would think that he would have slipped her a little food and water.
