Why with all of the newspapers and journalists all concerned about those who have been caught in the scandal of misinformation is the Deseret Morning News following in the same path? Jessica Lynch is not nor has she ever been a prisoner of war.
News reports say her vehicle was hit by a mortar shell that injured her. Because she was injured she was taken to the hospital by locals. While in the hospital being treated for her injuries without any kind of imprisonment or even enemy guards, she was released by our own military, which stormed the hospital terrifying the doctors and nurses. She at no time fell under the definition of a POW.
She herself expressed on national TV her disappointment with the manner in which she was used as a propaganda tool. Why then are you falsely reporting the incident and perpetuating the lie of her as a POW. Where is the journalistic integrity?
