BBC NEWS | Americas | Jessica Lynch 'raped' in Iraq
Despite the sensational claim of the headline, it contains something that didn't rate so highly:
"in an Iraqi hospital, she [Jessica] said local doctors treated her despite a scarcity of drugs and threats from Saddam Hussein's fedayeen henchmen.
She also said she remembers an Iraqi nurse singing to her.
'It was a pretty song and I [could] sleep,'"
No matter how elements of society try to demonise those of another tribe, compassion is a truly human quality.
