Maybe the article you read was plain wrong, as are most hurried reports of this war. She was in a hospital, with a symphatic nurse who sought out the Americans and helped get her out. Who is making up the torture stories ? And why do people repeat them ? story.news.yahoo.com Family of POW: She Wasn't Shot, Stabbed 1 hour, 27 minutes ago By ALLISON BARKER, Associated Press Writer PALESTINE, W.Va. - The father of rescued POW Army Pfc. Jessica Lynch said Thursday she was in great spirits following her first surgery and said doctors told him she had not been shot or stabbed during her ordeal. "We have heard and seen reports that she had multiple gunshot wounds and a knife stabbing. The doctor has not seen any of this," Gregory Lynch Sr. said. "There's no entry (wounds) whatsoever." [snip] According to a military reporter with the First Marine Expeditionary Force, Marines were led to Lynch by an Iraqi man whose wife was a nurse at the hospital. The man, a lawyer from Nasiriyah whom the reporter identified only as Mohammad, said he peered through the window of Lynch's room. "I knew then I must help her be saved," the man was quoted as saying. "I decided I must go to tell the Americans." The military reporter said that after Mohammad told Marines about Lynch's whereabouts, he returned to the hospital to gather intelligence, including the number of Iraqi troops guarding the building, the layout of the building and the room in which Lynch was kept.
