'Rescued' soldier Jessica wants to be a hack

Rember Jessica Lynch the soldier who was "rescued" from captivity in Iraq in a hyped piece of military propaganda? She wrote a book about the incident, despite professing embarrassment about the string of lies involved and she also let it be known that she could not sit through a TV movie which repeated the untruths. She has, she reveals, been receiving hate mail ever since. But Ms Lynch, now 23, is clearly a glutton for punishment. Though she wants " a normal life" she also says her ambition is to be a journalist. (Via Charleston Daily Mail)
