refresh my memory about Tillman and Lynch

I recall reading that Tillman was becoming disillusioned, and the news was that Pat was planning to meet with his Congressman when his tour was over, just before he was 'killed'.
Coincidentally, the War Party needed a big story for Civilian Propaganda to divert attention from the emerging Abu Grahib story (remember, they had plenty of lead time and released the torture pictures on their own schedule.)

Timing is everything.
It was all fishy to me from Day One.

And...
I recall reading that Jessica was portrayed as a naive young "blond" who "took a wrong turn" and ended up in a nest of Iraqis. I wondered why in the hell she didn't follow her GPS as she was trained to do?

Or if... her GPS directed her to make the wrong-way turn, who could have programmed it to do that? Wasn't that convenient, if you needed her character for a "story"?

I remember reading her Iraqi doctor's story and how she wasn't mistreated at all, and that her "rescuers" had to wait a whole day to get the proper press in to film the rescue.
Coincidentally, the War Party needed a romantic war story that would appeal to the young right, for the Office of Civilian Propaganda to divert attention from the Rachael Corry story that was playing in the foreign press and appealing to the young left. Their brave young girl soldier story would suck all of the air out of the brave young girl peace-nic being bulldozed by the Israelis story.

Timing is everything in war. You do bad things, make contracts, tell lies, steal elections, roll over innocents, let others be killed, make more contracts and then you Move On. Apologies? if necessary. No reparations.
