I keep hearing around the office about Jessica Lynch's ordeal, (i.e. the Iraqis tortured her, they killed other POW's in front of her, etc.) but I can't find anything on news sites to corroborate what they're saying. Anyone got any good links?

There look to be several new ones just this morning....look for them towards the bottom. This one (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/20030403/pl_afp/iraq_war_us_prisoner_030403163537) seems to be the most recent. I'm sure we'll be getting more info in bits and pieces.
Thanks neon, I've been looking for a certain picture of her and couldn't find it anywhere else.

I heard a little bit ago that there are two colleges that are offering to pay for any college expenses that her GI Bill won't pick up.

Marshall and West Virginia, if I recall correctly.

they killed other POW's in front of her, etc.That is one of the most disturbing issues in this war, the execution of POWs. I do beleive there is sufficient evidence that such executions are happening.
There really are no laws to war. Chivalry is dead when it comes to your survival, or attempt at utter domination.
