From what I read in the paper today it sounds like the stories of gun shot wounds and stabbings were simply not true. The broken limbs are certainly true and I am waiting to hear whether they were inflicted by her captors or in the fight - they look suspiciously like abuse to me but that is a personal view only. At least one account that I have read talked of frenzied resistance and her shooting down Fedayeen and kicking and biting to the very end - but that was also one of the accounts that had her being shot and stabbed etc so what do you believe.
I am interested in hearing her tale - I believe in her bravery and I think this rescue was FANTASTIC, but I want the story without the gilt edged frosting.
The Iraqii lawyer that risked his life and his family to get the info out to the US military, and who revisited the hospital several times to draw maps and guard locations - if that story is without embellishment then he sounds like he could do with some recognition as well.
