"You'd think a Hollywood screenwriter scripted the "Saving Private Jessica Lynch" spectacle the Pentagon produced last year. But that five-sided propaganda factory with its battalions of well-trained deceivers came up with this particular fairytale -- about how a Special Ops unit snatched a beautiful blonde American heroine from Iraqi fiends -- all on their own."
"Why? In late March of '03, the invasion wasn't going according to plan. Guerrillas were popping out of the desert like sand flies, gumming up the U.S. attack, and General Tommy Franks -- having gone in far too light and without the right force mix -- was in trouble. So the spinners came up with a scheme to distract an easily gulled American press corps and divert public attention."
"In its micro way, the Lynch scam symbolizes the miasma of deception surrounding the invasion and the ugly unsolvable occupation already causing the direst consequences to our national security."
"Meanwhile, Super Flack James Wilkinson, the reported Spielberg of the Lynch saga, has recently been shifted from desert duties to advising National Security Advisor Rice on how to further deceive the American people."
