11/7 Regarding Lynch, the iraqi doctor who treated her first maintains that
she arrived fully clothed, buttoned, and zipped up. While treating her
injuries, including a broken femur, he noticed no evidence of rape.
\_ Is this the same Iraqi doctor who was complaining how "rude" the
rescue team was during the rescue? Who's to say that one of
the Iraqi guards at the hospital wasn't a "My name is Buck, and
I'm here to f*ck" type guy?
\_ just type fuck. FUCK. sheesh.
\_ Oh? So he did a medical inspection for rape, did he? No. He
did no such thing. Even if this guy isn't lying through his teeth,
if I was the soldier who raped her ass I'd want to avoid any
questions and take the 5 seconds to redo her clothing after. The
last I checked, looking at a broken femur does not reveal evidence
of any sort of rape. Why are you posting this garbage?
\_ If she had a broken femur, you can bet your ass they cut her
out of her uniform post-haste to examine the wound. Any
reasonable examination of her would immediately reveal anal
bleeding, leading in turn to further investigation and at
least suspicion of rape. The Army reports on PFC Lynch and
her "rescue" have been shown to have serious factual errors,
and it does not surprise me that they'd fabricate reports of
her sodomizing rape in order to stir up the red-blooded
American sons and soldiers.
\_ So you know there'd be anal bleeding? You know they took good
care of her? You know they cut away her uniform and did a
proper and full medical inspection? What are these factual
errors in the rescue reports and what is the source of
the alleged corrections? You're just making shit up based on
nothing in particular and presenting it as fact. You don't
and *can't* know any of these things.
\_ Neither can you, but we can make educated guesses.
The only people who know are unfortunately shown
to be often untruthful.
\_ I believe the random medical reports from the US Army
hospital in Germany before I'd believe the Iraqi doctor
who has to worry about his life and his family's.
\_ Random? There is nothing random about it right
from when they decided to treat the whole
incident as a carefully chereographed PR
campaign.
\_ So you think she hasn't been to a private doctor
since then and had it confirmed? Given her other
statements she'd deny the rape if she didn't have
her own proof. So, yes, random.
\_ "[Lynch] also told Sawyer that she believes the U.S. military
overdramatized the story of her rescue in Iraq."

Although Lynch said she has no memory of the sexual assault, medical records cited in I am a Soldier, Too: The Jessica Lynch Story indicate that she was raped and sodomized by her Iraqi captors, according to United States media who said they had advance copies. The book - due to be released Tuesday - covers Lynchs experience between March 23 when her 507th Maintenance Company convoy was ambushed in Nasiriyah and April 1 when she was evacuated from a hospital by United States commandos. A family spokesman, Stephen Goodwin, confirmed the book alleges Lynch was raped. Lynch suffered broken bones to her right arm, right leg and thighs and ankle and received a head injury when her Humvee utility vehicle was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade and crashed into another vehicle. On ABCs Good Morning America on Thursday, host Diane Sawyer gave details of the contents of Lynchs book. The book does indeed cite some intelligence reports that she was treated brutally and a medical record which says, in the book, that she was a victim of a sodomozing rape, Sawyer said. Mahdi Khafazji, an orthopedic surgeon at Nasiriyahs main hospital performed surgery on Lynch to repair a fractured femur and said he found no signs that she was raped or sodomized. Khafazji, speaking at his private clinic in Nasiriyah, said he examined her extensively and would have detected signs of sexual assault. Jamal al-Saeidi, a brigadier general and head of the orthopedic department at the now disbanded Military Hospital, said he remembers seeing Jessicas motionless body on a bed in the crowded lobby of his hospital. He said a police van parked outside appeared to have brought her to the hospital. When she was brought there she was fighting for her life, said Dr. He said Lynch was fully clothed with her field jacket buttoned up. Her clothes were not torn, buttons had not come off, her pants were zipped up, al-Saeidi said. Al-Saeidi said he found no signs of rape during an examination although he acknowledged he was not looking for signs of sexual assault. In her interview with Sawyer, Lynch said she has no recollection of a rape. Lynch told Sawyer she doesnt remember being slapped or mistreated at the hospital, and she recalled one nurse sang to her. She also told Sawyer that she believes the United States military overdramatized the story of her rescue in Iraq. Responding to questions that the military may have exaggerated the danger of her nighttime rescue by United States commandos, she said, Yeah, I dont think it happened quite like that.
