Why does everyone insist she was raped? It's almost like some kind of tabloid deal. I think it's a bad deal for Jessica to assume that. It would be sad to have everyone associating that with you if it didn't happen.

Do you remember the rest of her group that was rescued? I recall the woman from that group saying she was surprised how they were treated. She said she expected them to torture her or interrogate her, and instead they just sat down with a bottled water and asked her a couple of questions. Then they just kept shifting the prisoners off to different people.

Yeah those Iraqis are princes of hospitality.

If she wasn't raped then the government can clear this all up by letting her tell her story, but they won't because they want to hide their guilt for sending her into the enemy's clutches unnecessarily.

Why does everyone insist she was raped?

From reports given by the hospital staff that she was brought in wearing only her t-shirt coupled with the common knowledge that unless you are needing daily medical care, the military will most likely give you a month or two of convalescence leave. By keeping her close to base, makes one believe that she was receiving large doses of counceling for the stress of what happened. If she wasn't raped, and was treated well, and was simply the victim of a vehicle accident, why the need for the conceling?
