Media focusing on alleged Lynch rape to deflect her criticism of BFEE
The headlines are all RAPE RAPE RAPE. When the real story is her refusal to go along with the BIG LIE.

It is in the best interest of the media, including the Washington Post, who "broke" the Rambette meme, to keep the focus on the alleged rape, and off of the quite, truthful statements made by Ms. Lynch claiming that she resents being used as a symbol by the Pentagon.

How can this be countered?

1. Undoubtedly. They have made propaganda a science.
Hopefully her interview will be shown in full. Letters to the editor may help.

2. I have a different theory
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."

I think Jesssica's story vs. Pentagon story had been slowly defusing since it happened. But the Col West story was just hitting, and now it's gone.

3. Interesting. Maybe 2 birds with one stone?
The Col. West story must have been gone quick, because this is the first I've heard of it.

Thanks.

6. The Col West story broke last Friday, i believe
It's gone now, that's for sure. HE fired his weapon outside the interrigation chamber, then walked in the room and put it next to the Iraqi soldier's head. Supposedly he then fired again, with the barrel away from the Iraqi's head.

And just now, I think I realized something. That might be why the Army Judge Advocate General was in Iraq this week. A colonel violating Geneva Convention POW treaty?
