Anti-WarWar Spin: The Truth About Jessica
BBC documentary on the U.S. propaganda machine. 2003. 43 min. Private Jessica Lynch became an icon of the war, and the story of her capture by the Iraqis and her
rescue by US Special Forces became one of the great patriotic moments of the conflict. But her story is one of the most stunning pieces of news management ever conceived. BBC reporter John Kampfner exposes inconsistencies in the official version of the rescue in Iraq of Private Lynch. War Spin: The Truth About Jessica challenges the Pentagon's version of a story that boosted American morale during a sticky point in the Iraq War as part of its investigation into allied propaganda.
