Thank you - but I don't want to sign up at the Washington Post, so I didn't read the whole story at the time - but my question is, if she's the only survivor of the incident (aside from those captured that may still be alive), who told "U.S. officials" what she did, if she didn't?

(If anyone knows, I am curious about that, and I would appreciate you shedding some light there.)

I really cannot imagine the trauma of watching what those animals must have done to the others. May God watch over Pfc. Lynch and help her through the emotional and physical manifestations of this ordeal.

She isn't the only survivor. Apparently two wounded men were left behind when the abushers took off with their captives, and they were found and rescued soon after the incident. They were recently transported to Texas.

I am baffled why this piece of news hasn't been linked to the stories about Private Lynch by the media. But these survivors may be the source of the stories.

At least some of the info came from Iraqis who saw it happen.
