Lynch: Military manipulated story
PALESTINE, W.Va., Nov. 7 â Former prisoner of war Jessica Lynch said the U.S. military was wrong to manipulate the story of her dramatic rescue and should not have filmed it in the first place.THE 20-YEAR-OLD private told ABCâs Diane Sawyer in a âPrimetimeâ interview to air Tuesday that she was bothered by the militaryâs portrayal of her ordeal. âThey used me as a way to symbolize all this stuff,â she said in an excerpt from the interview, posted Friday on the networkâs Web site. âIt hurt in a way that people would make up stories that they had no truth about,â she said. She also said there was no reason for her rescue from an Iraqi hospital to be filmed. âItâs wrong,â she said. The former Army supply clerk suffered broken bones and other injuries when her maintenance convoy was attacked in the Iraqi town of Nasiriyah on March 23. U.S. forces rescued Lynch at a Nasiriyah hospital April 1. Posted by: Alex 2003-11-07 |
