"She was fighting to the death," the Washington Post quoted an official as saying. "She did not want to be taken alive."

One hell of a soldier!

"She's real spirited. She hasn't eaten in eight days and she's hungry," said her father, Greg Lynch. "She wants some food."

Wow, I've heard and not stated an opinion on women on the front lines, but with a soldier like this who is fighting to the death and then survives with serious injuries for EIGHT days with little or no food. This is one hell of a lady and soldier. Bet she took out some Iraqi combatants while she sustained her own injuries.
What do you all think? I think the broken bones were post capture and inflicted as a torture method.

You wrote:"What do you all think? I think the broken bones were post capture and inflicted as a torture method." I totally agree with you but beware ----- Yesterday there were those here who took STRONG ISSUE with this suggestion. Said we should not "speculate unless we heard it from Jessica's own mouth"..... Said we were relying on hearsay when I quoted a report that the informer said she was being tortured. But I guess that is understandable - torture would be so out of character for Saddam's henchmen - right??
