Coincidence? Four of Lynch's Rescuers Have Died Mysteriousl
Just a Coincidence? Four of Jessica Lynch's Rescuers Have Died Mysteriously

A few nights ago I saw a preview of Saving Jessica Lynch. It was all I could do to contain the gray matter.

I was extremely busy and without access to a computer during the "rescue." A week after Pfc. Lynch was returned to American custody, I heard incredulous stories of a heroic young soldier, Rambo-style shooting at the enemy until out of bullets, and who endured stab wounds and torture until she was dramatically rescued in perfect made-for TV fashion.

And then the BBC aired the infamous documentary, essentially labeling the Pentagon's version of events as a work of fiction. I trust the BBC over the Pentagon.

Sure enough, Pfc Lynch has selective amnesia and cannot remember the events of her capture and rescue, though that hasn't stopped her from a million dollar book deal with the NY Times most recent plagiarist du jour, Rick Bragg.

When the Department of Defense insisted on keeping up their official version of the rescue, I knew that inevitably some of Lynch's rescuers would be hushed. After all, here is a woman who endured a few broken limbs from a vehicle accident and is rewarded with a million bucks, while her rescuers continue to live without toilets and running water in a Depleted Uranium wasteland. Her Bronze Star has outraged many veterans. At some point even the threat of an untimely demise will not keep some disgruntled military folks from talking.

Eerily enough, four of Pfc. Lynch's rescuers and colleagues have met an early demise.

1. Link, please, to the BBC info?
Because I'm sure the sheeple will be glued to their boob tubes gobbling up the fiction. The BBC story needs to be spread far and wide, post haste.

2. four now?
WTF???

You know, I'm with Molly Ivins - the thing I hate the most about Bush is that he makes me feel like a damned conspiracy theorist!

I hate even contemplating giving credence to shit like this, but.....four?

Does anyone know exactly how many soldiers were considered part of the "rescue team"? Was it tens, hundreds?

And, how close were these guys to the actual rescue? Did the enter the hospital?

I'd like to have more information before deciding how freaky this is.

3. The last one was discussed from a linked article just a few days ago
One would imagine these incidents will influence Jessica Lynch's communications to everyone else for the rest of her life.

Here's the last story which was discussed in Late Breaking News recently:

(snip) Lynch Rescuer Killed at Barbecue

LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) - A Marine who helped in the rescue of Army Pfc. Jessica Lynch in Iraq was shot to death at a family barbecue, just 12 days before he was to be discharged.
Lance Cpl. Sok Khak Ung, 22, and a family friend, Vouthy Tho, 21, were killed early Sunday in a garage at a Long Beach home by a gunman who fired six to eight shots before fleeing, police said.
On Tuesday, Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe offered a $10,000 reward for information on the killings.
"I am outraged that someone would so cowardly gun down this brave soldier," Knabe said. "Ung served his country well, protecting our freedoms in the war against terrorism. His killers should be brought to justice." (snip/...)

You might look through these news articles on the others. A quick glance shows one was killed in a wreck, etc.
