A lot of Americans were thrilled by the tale of PFC Jessica Lynch and the daring rescue that freed her from Iraqi captivity. But stories in foreign newspapers like this one and this one are now saying the story was bogus.
I don't know if they're right or not. But I'll bet you the American press will be very hesitant to puncture or even question the story. A lot of people really don't want to hear anything but the John Wayne version of the war just fought.
