Pfc. Lynch is lying in a hospital with two broken legs, a broken arm, a gunshot wound, and odds are those are not the limit of her injuries.

Tonight I heard on MSNBC or Fox between 9-10pm that "both legs broken, arm broken, and 2 GUNSHOTS TO LEGS" !!! Didn't anyone else hear this? My husband and I both did.

On a local talk radio show here in Philly (1210 AM) Dave Christian said today that Jessica Lynch's arms and a leg were broken as part of her torture. Christian said he couldn't go into any further details, but he said that she was tortured extensively. He also said that the torture was probably intensified BECAUSE she is an Anglo female.

The interview I heard took place late this afternoon on 1210AM radio here in the Philly area. Dave Christian, who has lately been somewhat of a fixture on Fox News nightly war coverage, was interviewed by phone by talk show host Michael Smerconish.

Dave Christian, the most decorated Vietnam war veteran in America, lives near me here in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. In the '80s he ran against incumbent Peter Kostmayer for Congress in my district and was narrowly defeated. (Greenwood now holds the seat.)

David said that Jessica Lynch would recover physically but would be receiving psychiatric counseling. He said her arms and a leg were broken during torture and that he did not want to discuss the torture any further. I got the impression he had spoken to somebody close to the situation. Captain Christian also stated that Lynch's torture was extensive "because of her being an Anglo female". He said that her status as an Anglo female made her particularly more targeted for torture by the Iraqis.
