Jessica Lynch Meets Iraqi Who Helped Her

[Khephra]

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. -- Former Iraq prisoner of war Jessica Lynch has met the lawyer who provided information that led to her rescue last year.

The meeting with Mohammed Odeh al-Rehaief took place on April 7 in Washington, where Lynch was speaking at a seminar. Al-Rehaief's wife, Iman, and daughter accompanied him to the meeting, which lasted about an hour, Lynch's lawyer, Stephen Goodwin, said Friday.

"It went very well. As Jessi has always indicated, she wanted it to be a private meeting," he said.

1. um..Lynch speaking at seminars?

"The ups and downs of being a propaganda tool"?

"Maintenance Division Basics"?

"The importance of following maps and driving instructions"?

don't want to be cruel here, but what the hell kind of seminars is this poor girl speaking at?

2. The propaganda machine at work... We need good US Iraqi photos bad!

Drag out poor Jessica!

Never mind that the media-whores had gone as far as to imply that that poor young flower af American maidenhood had been sodomized by her brutal Iraqi captors because Americans have such memories and attention spans, drag her out damn it and get some positive US/Iraqi pictures up there!


Sorry Georgie boy, it ain't gonna work.

Sheesh. She met with him April 7 and they dust off the story now?

Newsday?

Thanks for the laugh Keph.

3. The mother of new poster-girl, Lynndie Edwards, says -

"And what the do to our men and women are just? The rules of the Geneva Convention, does that apply to everybody or just us?"

Well, Mrs. Edwards, I'd say that Jessica Lynch, a POW held by Iraqis, was treated a damned sight better than your daughter treats Iraqi prisoners.

5. I'm still trying to figure out

what the Iraqis did to "our people".

I guess she's in that group that is confused about who was involved in 9-11? Someone needs to explain to her that Bush had a bigger hand in that than the Iraqis.

4. Propaganda or not,...I love both these people.

That is all I can say other than I also love that they are meeting and sharing their humanity.

6. Agree

I am encouraged that she kept the meeting private and didn't make a spectacle out of it. Also encouraged that the story didn't get out until now.
