Jessica Lynch agrees w/ Jesse Jackson, I'm sure the Freepers hate that
-snip-
We asked Lynch about Rev. Jesse Jackson 's remarks at Monday's Hip Hop Summit Action Network gala, where he complained that Lynch had been "exalted" while fellow POW Shoshana Johnson has has not received her full disability payments.

"I feel the same way," she said. "I think everyone should get what they deserve. It's not just me. Everybody that goes over to a war is a hero."

2. She didn't sell out.
She may have taken money that was offered to her, but she didn't "sell-out" in the sense that she prostituted the story to please the buyers. She told the story as honestly as she knew how.

4. Ok...

5. She could easily have shut up and taken the money. Give her some credit.
