WASH TIMES: "Army to probe Lynch capture"

Charleymane,

Even a right wing Moonie operation like the Washington Times reports that the Lynch story stinks to high heaven:

Quote:

"One question the team is addressing is the plight of 19-year-old Pfc. Lynch, whose capture by Iraqis and subsequent rescue by an allied special-operations team propelled her to folk-hero status across America.
The Washington Post reported that she staged a fierce fight before capture, emptying a gun and killing Iraqi attackers before being stabbed and shot herself.
But two Pentagon officials in interviews cast doubt on that report. The officials said all evidence suggests that Pfc. Lynch's truck crashed in the chaos of the ambush in the central Iraqi town of Nasiriyah. She suffered several bone fractures and was in no position to put up a fight, the officials said."

This law professor seems intent on creating an alternate universe where the reader is bathed in a "reality" that suits ideology, not truth. This is generally an effective technique in the courtroom, but it doesn't play nearly as well in the real world.
