Jessica Lynch was shot defending herself and her unit:

Doctors told the family of Army Pfc. Jessica Lynch on Friday that the former prisoner of war suffered gunshot wounds, a family spokesman said.

That contradicted earlier reports from a spokesman at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany -- where Lynch is recovering -- that the rescued POW did not appear to have been shot or stabbed.

James Taranto has an interesting take on feminist group responses, or lack of them:

You'd think she'd be a feminist heroine, but we checked the Web site of the group that calls itself the National Organization for Women and couldn't find any acknowledgment of this valiant member of the fairer sex. Instead the homepage features two links to articles about the Augusta National Golf Club, one favoring racial preferences, one opposing the confirmation of a woman as a federal judge, one on abortion and one on the pressing problem of " 'educational' pelvic exams performed on unconscious patients." There are two items related to the military: one on sexual assaults at the Air Force Academy and one headlined "In Shadows of War, NOW Continues Urging Peace."

This reminds me of NOW's handling of the Lewinsky scandal. They supported Hillary even though she stayed with her two-timing Hubby. If NOW sees itself as a group that empowers women to stand up for equality with men, why would they not have a huge banner supporting this brave woman. I guess there hatred for Bush is more obsessive than furthering their goals.
