Very lucky indeed, Donut - especially if the BBC is "exaggerating the facts" just a bit.
Could it be even remotely possible that Jessica Lynch doesn't remember this incident because it never actually happened???
Which bit did not happen? I think that is the reporters point [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Also, the article itself pointed out that the soldiers who reportedly fired on the ambulance did not know that Pfc Lynch was within the ambulance. It also pointed out that U.S. troops did NOT know the Fedayeen had fled the hospital the day before.
I am 100% sure they (the soldiers on the ground) did not know she was in there. but if the US higher authority's knew why did they not get a message out. Having said that it was a war and I think that even allowing that some people knew, no blame should be attached to the soldiers in the firing line.
As was said before, let's ALL try to keep an open mind. 
yes we should, and lets start by not muddying the waters on the BBC / FOX ethics. Getting to the truth is the all important issue. IMO the Allies did a great job over all in telling the truth *when it could* and this helped people keep faith in the pentagon. If another war is fought tomorrow then it is important that the public can trust the armed forces.[/QUOTE]
