What would you rather hear reported on the Nat'l news?
1) PFC Jessica Lynch is recovering from gunshot and stab wounds
2) PFC Jessica Lynch is having surgery to help heal from the gang rapes, and her arms and limbs set after a torturer broke her bones, and one of many operations to repair her spine, so she can feel her feet.
The 'story' was placed to protect Jessica. The public didn't need to know what was done to a 19 yr old girl. The military released a story that allowed us to understand her need for medical care, but still allowed her some degree of privacy. I think her parents regret saying what they did.
The Truth.
