If that's ur arguement about how much weight we should put in what they say, then the opening statement that Swampy makes about how the doctors saved her, how do we know that's true.. or if any part of the report was true.. The whole gun thing about fighting till she ran out of ammo was acknowledged later as false by the military, or at least they admitted they didn't know.
And I don't know what you mean by "WE".. the US Government did pull the lawyer and his family out, cause that is what he wanted, and as a thank you, that is what we did, the 1/2 million was giving by a book company.. not "we".
I don't really put any stock into report issued by the military before an investigation is conducted. Now that we have begun to look into the matter, I have a bit more faith that what's being reported isn't a) rushed and b) being issued in an atmosphere where controls over information have a clear advantage.
By "we" I was referring more to the American culture; our government, our companies, driven by our desires and wants. I just found it funny that the first individual Iraqi I can think of who is getting some type of direct compensation from the war (other than the boy with no arms and the playstation) is a lawyer...

it is kinda funny, but for what he did, whether lynch is a hero or not, he deserves a big thank you.

Agreed. I don't want it to sound as if I think otherwise, it's just the term "lawyer" carries so much comedic potential in the states that it is sometimes the first thing I notice. This guy might actually start to reverse the negative sterotype of lawyers... bah, I guess not.

things can get pretty confusing in war. Heck some times you even end up shooting your own troops.
The media has screwed up reports in war, and even peace, for a long long time now.

ok i understand what u mean now.. the part i was referring too that came from the Washington Post about her being mistreated cames from the Army investigation.. or at least suppose to cause apperently the report hasn't be 'released' yet.
I tend not to believe anything that comes out from the war zone till the 'fog of war' clears up. Whether it be military or Media reports.
