Lynch was taken to a military hospital in Germany. The commander of the hospital, Colonel David Rubinstein reported that the evidence "did not suggest that any of her wounds were caused by either gunshots or stabbing."

Were the Iraqis lying about their treatment of Lynch?

Quote:
Pam Nicolais, who has served a spokesman for the Lynch family, said that the Iraqi accounts corroborate what the family has been hearing from Lynch herself.

"That goes along with what Jessi told us," she said.

The day after the Herald Dispatch article:

Quote:
U.S. government sources are telling me that they are concerned about Jessica's mental and physical state saying that she can not remember anything after the moment that the 507th Maintenance Company, her military unit, was ambushed… she also can not remember anything about her days in captivity and the brutality that U.S. military officials believe that she endured.

NOW she has amnesia.

And so it goes...
