Washington Post looks more deeply
Washington Post looks more deeply at the Jessica Lynch story. They say it takes her an hour to go from her bed to her wheelchair.
The article also serves as a sort of mea culpa for swallowing the official story whole when it first came out, which they freely admit: The Post's initial coverage attracted widespread criticism because many of the sources were unnamed and because the accounts were soon contradicted by other military officials. Then, a couple lines later, they seem to make the same mistake they set out to correct: Two U.S. officials with knowledge of the Army investigation said Lynch was mistreated by her captors. They would not elaborate.
