I'm happy for the guy and all...but why does my Spidey-sense tingle with the words "Jessica Lynch" in neon lights? Why does this scream of another propaganda-filled Made-For-TV-Movie?
The fact that he's a Halliburton employee? The fact that he made the escape, but the soldier who was taken at the same time (who I assume is trained for this sort of thing) still hasn't been heard from? The fact that he ran a half a mile in a tomato field unpursued and unsupervised just as a U.S. convoy was passing by?
I've become such a cynic over anything and everything about this war, that I'm believing there's a tinge of theatrics at play here. I hope I'm wrong.
I won't stop being a cynic, though...
