I'm sure the facts are somewhere in the middle, as usual. Thanks for the link. BW "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific." - Lily Tomlin

There're facts, there's the truth, and there's a story. Each can be modified to suit the theory. If for a minute, I become a poet, Will I get a little glory? ;P

Correspondent carries more weight than most if not entirely because they look at the human side to every story they cover, but can obviously not be taken as pure truth due to the very fact humans are telling it, and humans will always embelish and lie. You can choose to disregard anyone's voice at will, whether there were there or not - but even ingoring this specific incident you would have to be a blind fool to not have seen the exact show they talk of from day one of the "official" coverage. By far the hardest war was against public opinion, not against the Iraqi Regieme. Yet they did a sub-rate job and still pulled it off flawlessly...

It is not possible to be sure that it is true, but I don't think you are justified in characterising it as coming from "enemy doctors". They were Iraqi doctors and nurses and there is no evidence either way regarding their sympathies for Saddam Hussein. Given that Saddam Hussein's regime has fallen, I don't think there is any presumption that the doctors and nurses are lying. John Carson

It was reported here in SA too, the fact that Lynch now has a very helpful case of amnesia casts even more suspicions on the incident. Not saying it is true or not, just relaying more info for you to process :)

If the few minutes of grainy film of the rescue I saw were the effort of a massive propaganda campaign than the military needs to work on their propaganda machine.
