swisspolitics.org | Jessica Lynch rape allegations dismissed

"A rocket-propelled grenade attack on Lynch's Humvee military vehicle on March 23 left her with a broken leg, arm and ankle and a gash across her head. Eleven other soldiers were killed in the attack in which the Humvee crashed into another vehicle.

Dr Jamal Kadhim Shwail was the first doctor to examine Lynch when she was brought to Nassiriya's military hospital by Iraqi special police.

Shwail said Lynch was lying in the crowded reception of the hospital, unconscious and in shock from blood loss.

She was wearing her uniform including a flak jacket, military trousers and boots, none of her clothes had been unbuttoned or removed, as
the book claims, he said.

'We only had a few minutes to save her life, we found a vein in her neck to give her fluids and blood,' Shwail told Reuters at his home in
Nassiriya.

A team of five doctors treated Lynch, who was given an anaesthetic to allow a 15-cm (six-inch) cut to her head to be stitched and her fractures realigned.

He said her flak jacket was removed and her clothes were cut away to expose the injured sites. The anaesthetist cut away an area around her groin to insert a catheter to drain urine."

The purported "evidence" presented by the Bragg book would appear to be a fake. Yet another disinformation fake in a dirty war.

With this kind of rot, you don't need to have a coherent foreign policy or maintain even a semblance for respect for human rights. Just stoke up the "Big Hate" machine and all the Bubbas fall in line. Quite similar to the "Iraqi soldiers throwing babies out of incubators" story from Gulf I.
