BBC runs a way-out-of-left-field piece arguing that Jessica Lynch's rescue was staged, "Wag the Dog"-style. Perhaps not surprisingly, no effort whatsoever is made to seek comment from anyone within the US military or government, or anyone in the Lynch family. Essentially, this story lacks any attempt at confirmation -- and for such an inflammatory story as this one, that should be a bare minimum for any news agency, no matter how generally reckless it is.
