Target CNN: "Ex-POW" Jessica Lynch

[Newsjock]

CNN Is promoting next week's Larry King interview with, as they call it, "Ex-POW" Jessica Lynch.

There is no evidence that Lynch was ever held against her will.

Contact CNN now and demand that they promote Jessica Lynch's story factually.

2. There is no evidence that Lynch was ever held against her will.

Are you being funny?

5. Actually, he isn't joking...

...Shoshana Johnson was a POW, Pfc Lynch was a patient, and from all indications a rather well-treated one at that, at an Iraqi hospital. She wasn't a POW. They tried to return her to US forces, but were shot at.

13. exactly. Where is Shoshana Johnson's interview on CNN?

no book deal?

No made-for-tv movie?

:shrug:

20. Lynch was never a POW. She was in a car wreck and treated in an

iraqi hospital.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

3. yeah, uh

not held against her will? she was a POW, i dont think that is in dispute here.

[truthspeaker]

7. actually it is in dispute

The Iraqi hospital staff claim they tried to return her to the Americans, but their ambulance was shot at. Sure, they could be lying. But we KNOW the Pentagon lies, so....

[bowens43]

9. Irrelevent.

She was captured by Iraqi soldiers. That is NOT in dispute.

[doppledang]

15. Oh, Gawd

"Sure, they could be lying. But we KNOW the Pentagon lies, so...."

We certainly know the Iraqis lie, also. We also know the condition she was found in, having not been fed for days.

[Skittles]

21. BULLSHIT

ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT.

[bushisanidiot]

18. Jessica Confirmed That The Iraqi's Put Her In An Ambulance & Tried To Retu

rn her.

Who's to say she was "captured"? Maybe after the attack, she was left for dead, then rescued by Iraqi's who took her to the hospital.

[Skittles]

4. Prisoner of war is a status

Jessica was never statused as a prisoner of war.

[bowens43]

11. nitpicking.

This is silly.

[Skittles]

17. It is NOT NITPICKING

she was NEVER A PRISONER OF WAR. So that is a LIE. PROPAGANDA. Don't you understand? THAT IS NOT NITPICKING.

[bowens43]

8. Huh?

Of course she was a POW. A lot of her original story was hype but there is no doubt she was captured and held.

[gardenista]

10. Whether "POW" is the correct term or not

I hope that she gets a chance to tell her story on as many media outlets as possible. If you haven't noticed, she just may be the most effective critic of BFEE/Media manipulation to have emerged from the Iraq war.

Good luck getting the media to stop promoting it any damn way they please. But I advise against attempting to quash her and her story. She is not the pawn the Pentagon thought they had. West Virginia seems to breed some courageous souls.

12. She was promoted as America's darling and a instigator

of our hatred for the Iraqi's who would dare to harm our darling. It worked. She is treated like a princess while at the same time a true American hero Shoshana Johnson is treated.

[gbwarming]

14. That's a losing approach. Might as well just go spit on some troops

Why not do something constructive instead like bash Bush for starting a war that continues to cost lives for no reason.

[Cocoa]

16. it makes no sense

if there's a dispute about her status, then it's a technical thing that doesn't have any real meaning.

[Brian Sweat]

19. She was captured by the enemy.

She was a POW.
