| Lynch’s Father: Jessica was not shot, stabbed |
| 2003-04-03 |
| Edited for brevity. The father of rescued POW Army Pfc. Jessica Lynch said Thursday that she was in great spirits following her first surgery and denied reports she was shot and stabbed during her captivity in Iraq. "We have heard and seen reports that she had multiple gunshot wounds and a knife stabbing. The doctor has not seen any of this," Gregory Lynch Sr. said. Lynch said his 19-year-old daughter, who is at a military hospital in Germany, had surgery on her back. "She didn't have any feeling in her feet," he said outside the family's home in this West Virginia hamlet. More surgery was scheduled for Friday on her fractured legs and arm, he said. |

| #3 Well, don't I feel like a poopy face! Somebody made something up, told a reporter and the rest of the world just kept repeating it. Lesson number 107 of the Internet. |

| #2 Well every war needs a hero, and the idea of a woman fighting tooth and nail despite being wounded, and then afterwords surviving a grueling ordeal is deginately media-genic. Not to diminish her ordeal, that is real tough, and her suviving it is something to admire. However, I still suspect sensationalist media. -DS "the horns hold up the halo" |
