DID WE GET DUPED?

i originally trusted the story of this 19 year-old private being rescued from an iraqi hospital. i doubted the motives that were making it headline news, though. even if it were true, it fucking smelled of exploitation. many soldiers were captured and probably rescued, but none was made bigger than this 19 year-old girl's name.

"The whole thing lasted about four hours," Raazk said. "When they left, they turned to us and said `Thank you.' That was it."

whoa. could there be more than just sheer creepy photo-op at play here? was there actually more to it? Mitch Potter from the Toronto Star sure thinks so - The real 'Saving Pte. Lynch'.

[ thanks to the smirking chimp for the story ]
