  urlLink The Observer | International | Private Jessica says President is misusing her 'heroism' You won't see this in the American sweeps frenzy. The closest I found tonight was PBS with the accounts of the many creative muzzles past administrations found for the press during war.
Let's quote from urlLink the Observer : "Beneath the gloss of the US media and the machinations of an administration eager to show a 'good news' angle of the Iraq conflict against the reality of a rising body count, Lynch has become a metaphor not for the heroism of pretty young Americans captured by a devilish foreign enemy, but for the confusion that has marked Bush's Operation Iraqi Freedom from the start.
" You think that's good, it gets better: "Lynch now questions why her rescue was filmed: 'They used me to symbolize all this stuff. It's wrong. I don't know why they filmed it, or why they say these things. '" Any reader of my blog knows how bad urlLink I knocked the milking of Private Lynch . I must now retract absolutely everything I said. Turns out she had hero blood in her veins after all!
She has the guts to stand up, in the light of media-made heroism worthy of an Oscar for screenwriting, and say that emperor is naked. On one hand, it's a win/win for Jessica because even in the light of her yelling into the wind version of the story, which is ignored by all but that urlLink crazy wacko urlLink foreign press , she gets millions in book contracts and movie rights. But on the other hand, urlLink the truth is out there , urlLink Mulder .
