It Isn't All Fun and Games
Possibly the most disturbing thing that I have read about Gulf War II. Remember Jessica Lynch, the 19 year old POW that US forces dramatically rescued from a hospital in Iraq? Yeah, well evidently that whole story is hooey. A big fat snow-job by the US government. Special Forces entered a hospital with NO enemy military presents and made a show of the insertion by firing blanks and flash-bangs while getting it all on military cameras. Everybody knows that the government lies to us, but I get a sick feeling in my stomach when a cover-up is revealed. From the article:The American strategy was to ensure the right television footage by using embedded reporters and images from their own cameras, editing the film themselves. The Pentagon had been influenced by Hollywood producers of reality TV and action movies, notably the man behind Black Hawk Down, Jerry Bruckheimer.
