>>It would have been utterly negligent for them to treat the situation differently than they did.<< What I want to know is, if the situation was so benign that all the US had to do was call the hospital staff and they would have had Pvt. Lynch waiting at the curb in a wheelchair, what about the doctor? Remember the doctor that trekked across the desert several times, at personal risk, the one who alerted the US forces that Pvt. Lynch was in the hospital and was being abused? Because the two stories really can't be reconciled. Either the doctor was a hero because he helped the Americans save Pvt. Lynch from a bad situation, or he was a con man who faked out the Americans for reasons of his own. Clue # 1 is that he did contact the Americans. I have to say that in general I put all Iraqi government workers in the same category as the Information Minister. There are lies, damned lies, and Iraqi government lies.
