Jessica Lynch

From the Washington Post's account of earlier this week, however, it appears that the faulty information the military put out was a product of the fog of war, not a deliberate effort to deceive Nick Kristof.

Kristof does unearth a chilling account of Lynch's captivity, however:

The hospital staff also said that on the night of March 27, military officials prepared to kill Ms. Lynch by putting her in an ambulance and blowing it up with its occupants--blaming the atrocity on the Americans. The ambulance drivers balked at that idea. Eventually, the plan was changed so that a military officer would shoot Ms. Lynch and burn the ambulance. So Sabah Khazal, an ambulance driver, loaded her in the vehicle and drove off with a military officer assigned to execute her.

"I asked him not to shoot Jessica," Mr. Khazal said, "and he was afraid of God and didn't kill her." Instead, the executioner ran away and deserted the army, and Mr. Khazal said that he then thought about delivering Ms. Lynch to an American checkpoint. But there were firefights on the streets, so he returned to the hospital. (Ms. Lynch apparently never knew how close she had come to execution.)

Jesica and all the rest of the POWs that were rescued are just military personnel doing there jobs, just like the rescue'rs are just doing there job. The guy I would like to find out his name was with Jesica. seems that Jesicas Hum-Vee was hit by an RPG turned over and in doing so knocked her unconscious and broke her legs and arm. The soldier with her Killed 6 Irag soldiers defending her and himself before the Irags got to him and killed him. This story I heard on Fox news and CNN. came from a servivor in next vehicle in line. She never fired a shot because she was unconscious.
She is blond and pretty and good movie material and I wish her all the best with her book and movies, The "Hero" would be the guy that died defending the vehicle and personnel. Whoever that was.
