CAPTAIN MIKE EXCLUSIVE: casting notice for "SAVING JESSICA LYNCH!"
Gang,

Check this out!

I knew the networks were wrangling with each other over the rights to Jessica's "story." NEVER MIND THAT THE STORY OF HER CAPTURE AND RESCUE IS A WORK OF COMPLETE FICTION! That's not going to stop the State Department propaganda machine from producing the TV movie about Jessica's "rescue" that has turned out to be completely debunked, bogus, and swept under the rug.

Captain Mike, actor in Hollywood, receives casting notices each day, about projects going on here in Hollywood. I just saw this today, while mailing out my headshots.

Have you noticed how Jessica has simply disappeared? She's not talking about her experience. She's been silenced. So they then said she has "amnesia." That way she can't debunk the fictional story put forth by the Pentagon. Same for her parents. They've actually been threatened to NOT TALK about it. And one of the guys in charge of her rescue just died suddenly in a bizarre solo car crash.

Despite the propaganda, if you were following DU's coverage, you'd know that Jessica was NOT SHOT, NOT STABBED, NEVER FIRED A WEAPON, was treated KINDLY in the Iraqi hospital, indeed better than the Iraqi patients, was given her own room, and one of the doctors even tried to bring her back to a US checkpoint but turned back when troops fired on his ambulance! When US Special Forces "rescued" her, there were NO Iraqi soldiers there, they met no resistance, and actually hung around for about four hours. This was no daring "rescue" or "grab" operation. She was not a POW!

Check out the particulars below and the character descriptions!

Like Captain Mike says, "You can't make this shit up!" Well, they're going to anyway...

JESSICA LYNCH: OFFER PENDING

30 something, he is a handsome and refined Iraqi man, a lawyer. Married
to a nurse who works at the hospital in Nasiriyah, he is also the father of a six year old daughter, Abeer. An
intelligent, caring, educated, well-spoken man, he is deeply unsettled when he sees how POW, Jessica Lynch,
is being treated while being held at the hospital. Unnerved to think how he would feel if his own daughter had
met the same fate, he opts to risk everything to tell the U.S. authorities where to find the missing young soldier.
He clearly believes that Iraq is a dangerous place while Saddam is in power?LEAD (30)

An Iraqi woman, Mohammed?s wife, mother to six year old Abeer, she is a nurse at the hospital in
Nasiriyah. Iman is both scared and angry when she learns that her husband has gone to the American
authorities regarding the whereabouts of POW, Jessica Lynch. After being visited by the Ba?ath militia, she
realizes that her family?s life is in serious jeopardy. However, she soon comes to realize what prompted her
husband?s seemingly rash decision, and supports him unequivocally. She even helps the U.S. with their plot to
rescue Jessica LEAD (33)

A burly truck driver, he is Jessica?s good-hearted, proud father, the patriarch of his West
Virginia family. He?s filled with emotion as his two oldest, Jessica included, take off for their respective army
bases. He reminds Jessica, ?You remember where you came from?? During the time that Jessica is reported
missing in action, he remains stoically optimistic, convinced deep-down that his little girl is alive and well. Upon
learning that Jessica has been found and rescued, he lets the tears come LEAD (9)

Iman?s sister and a doctor at the hospital in Nasiriyah. She tells Mohammed that an
American POW, Jessica Lynch, is being held at the hospital. She even allows Mohammed to briefly visit the
captured young woman. Later, this brave doctor leads Navy SEALs to the morgue where they find the bodies of
downed American soldiers 3 speeches & 15 lines, 11 scenes (31) LEAD

He is a grizzled Marine Base Commander in Iraq who is at first puzzled when
Mohammed seeks to help the Americans with their rescue of a POW. A careful and intelligent fellow, he
comes to trust Mohammed completely, amazed that Mohammed and his wife have risked so much to help the
captured woman. However, he warns Mohammed that there hasn?t been a successful rescue of a POW in fifty
years LEAD (46)

This Muslim cleric is a friend and neighbor of Mohammed. He, too, bemoans what has
happened to his country since Saddam took power. Later, he intervenes, hoping to circumvent trouble when
the Ba?ath militia come to Mohammed?s home and threaten to arrest Iman and their daughter. He then warns
Iman to leave immediately 1 speech & 5 lines, 2 scenes (30)

3. Could be because it is a 'working title'
But that would be a stretch, I guess.

Maybe they are going to expose the whole propagandizing of the event

and show how she and her family were used for political purposes

4. Don't be on it!
They're also planning a "Bush was a hero on 9-11" movie which is shooting NOW.

5. story here of official retraction!
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=102&topic_id=5236&mesg_id=5236&page=


But don't bet for ONE SECOND they'd actually take this into account.

Americans are amnesiacs, and only believe what they see on their TV's.
