Rescued U.S. POW has amnesia
United Press International
Rescued POW Jessica Lynch says she can't remember anything about her time in captivity in Iraq as she recovers from her battle wounds, Fox News reported.
"This is a very sad thing about Jessica but it's not unexpected," Dr. Isadore Rosenfeld told Fox News Sunday.
Rosenfeld said Lynch is likely suffering from total global amnesia, which often occurs after someone endures a traumatic emotional and/or physical stress.
"These things usually take months -- sometimes years - but usually months to eventually clear up," and the patient recovers, Rosenfeld said. U.S. officials said Lynch most likely knows how her colleagues were killed and would be able if she regains her memory to provide witness accounts of war crimes.
Lynch, an Army supply clerk from Palestine, W.Va., was seized by Iraqi fighters March 23 when her 507th Maintenance Company convoy was ambushed.

How sad...
On the other hand while she is healing maybe it is better she does not remember?
