what really happened to jessica?
according to the iraqi doctors- they saw only that her clothes were intact,buttoned,ect. but according to the author he saw the medical reports from the doctors in the us that she was raped...who`s telling the truth?
for an interesting read go to {http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/]
" breaking news" doctors dismiss-
i heard this on wls/am890 radio news this afternoon and can`t find any other source since then.

1. This was on the national news shows tonight also.
I'm not sure one way or another. I'm not a doctor, and even if I was, I haven't examined Lynch. But I know one this for sure. The timing of this story stinks to high hell.

I had posted my theory earlier in the media forum.

I think the RW media is focusing on her rape because of Col. West, the guy who tortured an Iraqi soldier. I haven't heard his name since they started talking about Lynch. And even if it does come back up, "hey, at least when we torture POWs we don't rape them."

This Col. West story was just hitting, and now it's gone. So whether or not it happened, maybe we'll never know. It's very possible it did. But why was it made public when it was.

2. She was pre-selected for an auto accident

which ended up injuring her more than anyone thought it would, at least I hope so.

According to prior arrangement, she was given medical treatment and kept in a better place than most Iraqis would be, and after a decent interval, she was transported to a US facility for further medical treatment, debriefing, and given her new orders.

Now she is a propaganda doll, and the best we can do is hope that she will be able to live out her life with as much privacy and anonymity as her family and her fiancee's can muster, including a festive but family and close friends only wedding, followed by an ordinary quiet life surrounded by people who love her, and shoot into the air whenever reporters approach.

edit to clarify that I mean I hope that the planners did not plan on such extensive injuries, before some gooberhead starts shrieking that I wanted her to have a lot of bones broken.

4. That story is gone, their BN column can move fast
when you see a story there you need to open it and post that direct

link.

It is an AP story maybe you can googlenews search and find another

link, though I think it may be a dupe

5. CNN reported she has said she doesn't like being used as propoganda
and that stories of her shooting & fighting till her last bullet was gone is a false story...She said her gun jammed and she never got off even one shot....cnn reported that this afternoon...

6. When I took my daughter to the airport...
I saw CNN had splashed the headline: 'Jessica Lynch raped'. Nice.

8. What happened?
Oh, it was just that her publisher decided there was no way they could afford to pay her a 7-digit advance unless her story had some titillation in it. And nowadays you need some pretty juicy titillation to sell books. Hence the anal angle.

10. The thing is
these days you never know what is real. Remember, she first reportedly had amnesia, then she had to be debriefed, then she was a hero, then the rescue story was bogus...
