They would need to buy the rights to her story from the family. The Lynch family will benefit financially. That will allow them to create foundations or for Jessica to have a home when she graduates college and becomes a teacher.

I would have to say the since Jessica Lynch is the first liberated POW during wartime since WW2, and is the first female POW since who knows when, Jessica Lynch will not have to worry too much about anything, including work, income, residence, recreation, happiness.

She is a gorgeous girl. That puts her in charge of who buys face time. She's a war hero/POW. That give her the key to any city, Disney or even White House.

I'm not speaking of gov't handouts. If Jessica Lynch needs something, I think I can name about 200 Million Americans that would empty their wallets so fast it would make Hollyweird movie makers cringe in fear.

Any hollyweirdo who plans to "tell her story" is doing so for purely capitalistic reasons. We know her story.

Freepers darn sure don't need hollyweird to spin a real life news happening. Especially a heartwrenching patriotic one!

You can do a lot of negotiating with a pretty, blonde, female American soldier as your hostage.

When did the negotiations take place? I must've missed it.
