Everyone is covering the report in Lynch’s ‘authorized biography’ that she was raped by her Iraqi captors. This is the story that should get more attention from a public with less prurient interest: “Former prisoner of war Jessica Lynch has accused the military of using her capture and dramatic nighttime rescue to sway public support for the war in Iraq.

Lynch said she’s bothered by the military’s portrayal of her ordeal in Iraq. She said the U.S. military manipulated the story of her dramatic rescue — and shouldn’t have filmed it in the first place.” —Omaha Channel News
