Jessica Lynch:
According to Jessica Lynch, there was no shoot-out when her maintenance unit was ambushed as reported at the time. All she can recall is falling to her knees and praying.
She also questions the release of the grainy, night-time video of her rescue from an Iraqi hospital.
That film, she tells Diane Sawyer, was manipulated by the Pentagon who put its own particular positive gloss on events. She describes herself as "no hero".

And here is one thing that was said by someone else.
"The United States was looking for a good news story to emerge out of Operation Iraqi Freedom. They got just that from the photogenic young female soldier."
-Personally, I don't think it was racism...I think the U.S. was using whatever the hell it could to make themselves look good over there. |
