Reply #76: This book totally contradicts the Bush PR spin. Why the giant pile on? [View All]

I really don't get it. This is the FIRST time she has told her story and it TOTALLY CONTRADICTS the bush/rove version. Also TOTALLY CONTRADICTS the Iraqi lawyer story the incubator-baby-propagandists are promoting.

No amnesia
Good treatment by Iraqi medical staff
Didn't fire a shot
Iraqis tried to return her and were shot at.

---------------------------

But while early Pentagon reports suggested the young Army private heroically resisted capture, Lynch told Bragg she never fired a shot, because her M-16 jammed. "I didn't kill nobody," she said.

Lynch also denied in the book claims by Iraqi lawyer Mohammed Odeh Al-Rehaief, who said he saw one of former Iraqi strongman Saddam Hussein's black-clad Fedayeen slap her as she lay in her hospital bed.

"Unless they hit me while I was asleep - and why do that?" she said.

Lynch described to Bragg how Iraqi doctors were branded "traitors" by Saddam's henchmen for helping her and how they tried to treat her wounds in a shattered hospital where painkillers were scarce. She said one nurse tried to ease her agony by singing to her.

"It was a pretty song," she said. "And I would sleep."

Lynch also confirmed reports in the book that Iraqi doctors tried to sneak her to safety in an ambulance but turned back when wary U.S. soldiers opened fire on them.
