Anyone watch 60 Minutes on Sunday? The real hero would probably be Patrick Miller.. A summary of the story:

My opinion on this is that the Bush administration used Lynch to direct the public opinion away from the reality of the war in Iraq. We were told Saddam had chemical and possibly nuclear weapons and we needed to disarm him now. The war has been over for 6 months now and WMDs still has not been found. So to make the American people feel better for deaths of over 300 soldiers who have died with more dying daily, we have Lynch, the sweet, young, white American girl that a large majority of American people will identify with and feel sorry for, being beaten up and brutalized by the evil Iraqi soldiers of Saddam's army. Why don't we see more coverage about Miller, Johnson, and the other POWs that were captured? Because Lynch's would have more an effect on the people.
