BBC reports that the Jessica Lynch rescue was a staged drama:
Witnesses told us that the special forces knew that the Iraqi military had fled a day before they swooped on the hospital.Dr Uday was surprised by the manner of the rescue. "We were surprised. Why do this? There was no military, there were no soldiers in the hospital," said Dr Anmar Uday, who worked at the hospital.
"It was like a Hollywood film. They cried 'go, go, go', with guns and blanks without bullets, blanks and the sound of explosions. They made a show for the American attack on the hospital - action movies like Sylvester Stallone or Jackie Chan."
