you have to think about it logically. one good giveaway is the fact that she was in an iraqi hospital. if she really had been attacked, why would the opposing side take her to a hospital and just torture her more, yet keep her alive? they could have just inished her off in the spot.

she was actually well cared for.

POW's are SUPPOSED to be well taken care of.

POW's are not supposed to be raped and killed.

yeah- i'm not an expert on that- Erik probably knows more about it than I do.

I just know that POW's are supposed to just be sorta detained during war. It is mandatory for them to recieve health care and food and shelter. They are not supposed to be abused.

You mean like those POWs we are holding indefinately in Guantanamo bay for interrogation?



By the way, it's the Geneva Convention that states proper treatment of POWs.

The only reason Ms. Lynch's story is know is because of the media. They over-hyped the whole thing and we asked for more. If we didn't we would have moved on to the next "story". Unfortunately not everyone's story can be told, it's just about physically impossible. Her story was "picked" and that's the truth.
