I also wonder if the Iraqi 'doctor' who was persuaded to tell our forces where Pfc Lynch was being held was one of those torturers.
Her injuries are not exactly the most usual for those wounded in combat, but may also reflect injuries outside the statistical norm due to having been sustained in a more urban setting.
But the autopsy of her sister soldier, Pfc. Lori Ann Piestewa, may also reflect either similar injuries or similar treatment, and whether a conscientious physician fighting for a patient or something somewhat different attempting to appear as such, the Iraqi doctor's interrogation may add some details to the death of one female soldier and serious injury to the other.
Perhaps that was indeed a part of the Iraqi plan: particularly target the female troops in hopes their fellow women soldiers would be with drawn, leaving a 10%-15% personnell loss in some units, and one as high as 25% in others. That would certainly have been more effective overall than anything else we've seen from the Iraqis so far....
Pfc Lynch's injuries are quite unusual. Those broken legs and arm have been bothering me ever since she was rescued.
Good theory about the possibility of Iraqi troops targeting women in order to force the Allies to withdraw female troops. I HOPE Pfc Piestawa wasn't subjected to the same treatment. Just by those vedeo tapes Iraq is so eager to broadcast on the Terrorist News Network, we know they couldn't care less about the Geneva convention.
