#1 This story becomes more and more confused. Ms Lynch's authorized biography claims she doesn't remember anything. Her interview claims she does. The media claims the Pentagon hyped the story, which is a load of shit. The military never said there was a fight at the hospital. And the video they released clearly does NOT show any combat. The only fighting the military claimed took place in reference to this operation was a diversionary action by the marines. So how is the military hyping it? Not at all. I don't want to belittle her ordeal, but how is she a hero??? Just because she's not dead? What about the others of her group taken captive? Is Shashawna (sp) Johnson getting all of this attention? How about an offer of a free ride to college? This whole thing stinks to high heaven, obviously somebody is lying. Who? Personally I am starting to get the feeling that the media is the culprit. Shocking I know. I think they tried to spin her in to a 'super-heroine' and now that the story is falling apart, they are blaming the government. And poor Jessica is caught in the middle of it. I'm just sick of hearing about it. Well, whatever the true story is, I wish her well.

#2 Swiggles, it might also be the fault of Jessica herself. She should know what was written about her ordeal in the book. To not only contradict it on TV, but also to blame the Government for exploiting her is alarming to me. And she did say the Government exploited her. She also that the tape of her rescue was wrong.

Add in Larry Flynt saying he has, but won't publish, nude photos of Lynch and in the very next sentence scolding the Bush administration for exploiting Lynch and what do you get? ( Alomst forgot to add in the 'video' circulating the internet. )

I'm sorry for even thinking this, but I'm starting to wonder if Lynch isn't using her ordeal for Left-wing propoganda.

#3 Charles: You hit on the key point, but misinterpreted it...

Larry Flynt says he has pictures of her nekkid, but out of the "goodness of his heart" he's not going to publish them because she's being used by the Bush admin & the army. Since she's not Pam Anderson and doesn't want the pictures to come out, she doesn't have much choice but to say she feels exploited.

It's not even a subtle threat if you assume that Flynt's a complete sleazebag...
