Jessica Lynch

• May 17 -- Jessica Lynch Gone Bad
First it was Abu Ghraib and My Lai: Now Frank Rich is comparing Abu Ghraib abuser Lynndie England to rescued POW Jessica Lynch and warns of "our country's descent into the gulag."

• November 11 -- “Right-Wing Bloviators” Pressured “Craven” CBS
Editor Frank Rich notes approvingly that the TV movie on Jessica Lynch portrays the rescued POW “as a lowly pawn of larger, mysterious forces operating in the shadows, whether in Baghdad or Washington” and lambastes “craven” CBS for caving to “right-wing bloviators” on the Reagan miniseries.

• November 7 -- Praise for US Military Prowess? Perish the Thought
Alessandra Stanley likes at least one thing about the TV-docudrama "Saving Jessica Lynch-- there's not too much pro-military stuff: "The filmmakers avoid having to make up details about Private Lynch's ordeal or delivering too jingoistic a paean to American military prowess."

• June 20 -- Pentagon, Saddam --What’s the Diff?
Columnist Nicholas Kristof: “The Iraqis misused our prisoners for their propaganda purposes, and it hurts to find out that some American officials were misusing Private Lynch the same way.”
