Private Jessica says President is misusing her 'heroism'

As usual, the Orwellian White House under Karl Rove, pushed a lie on us through a compliant media. According a report in the Guardian, misgivings characterising Lynch's story are coming to a head: last week she accused the administration of manipulating her story for propaganda, saying she was not a heroine at all; accusations that she'd been raped were disputed by appalled Iraqi doctors who first treated her, and the army was accused of insensitivity and racism for awarding Lynch a full disability pension while others from her ambushed maintenance company, including Shoshana Johnson, the black cook wounded and captured by Iraqis, will receive barely a third of Lynch's discharge package.

Can I honestly write that I am surprised by all this?? Just par for the course...
