The live 'witnesses,' are Lynch, who signed a big book deal, and the Iraqi lawyer who was allowed to defect and has cut a deal with NBC for the movie of the week tonight. Now check out the four dead witnesses.
A big payoff vs. death. Cf. any mafia film -- this is "an offer you can't refuse."
"Picasso Dreams" has done a good job collating information: Sure enough, Pfc Lynch has selective amnesia and cannot remember the events of her capture and rescue . . .
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. . . .
Four of Pfc. Lynch's rescuers and colleagues have met an early demise.
Petty Officer First Class David M. Tapper died of wounds received in Afghanistan. He took part in the rescue.
Lance Cpl. Sok Khak Ung was killed [in a backyard by an unknown assailant]. He was also part of the rescue team.
Spc Josh Daniel Speer died when his car crashed into some trees for no apparent reason. He was part of the rescue team.
Kyle Edward Williams, who worked in the same company as Lynch, died of "suicide". [left no note] Note also this from Drudge Nov. 7:JESSICA LYNCH DISPUTES ARMY ACCOUNT OF DRAMATIC RESCUE!
Jessica Lynch criticized military for exaggerating accounts of her rescue and recasting her ordeal as patriotic fable... MORE.. Asked by ABCNEWS anchor Diane Sawyer if military's portrayal of rescue bothered her, Lynch said: 'Yeah, it does. It does that they used me as a way to symbolize all this stuff. Yeah, it's wrong'... Asked how she felt about reports of her heroism: 'It hurt in a way that people would make up stories that they had no truth about. Only I would have been able to know that, because the other four people on my vehicle aren't here to tell the story. So I would have been the only one able to say, Yeah, I went down shooting. But I didn't'... Asked about claims the military exaggerated danger of the rescue mission: 'Yeah, I don't think it happened quite like that'...
