Yesterday afternoon U.S. time a press conference was arranged at the W. Virginia airport where POW PFC Jessica Lynch's parents were to depart on a Gulfstream jet to Germany to see their daughter.
Greg and Deadra Lynch were obviously very excited and upbeat knowing that Jessica is alive and that they would see her soon.
Some insensitive reporter (out of view of camera) asked her father Greg something to the effect of how he felt about the eight soldiers in Jessica's unit that were found dead at the hospital.
His disposition changed from upbeat to obviously very upset, and he said that he did not know this. Deadra Lynch briefing consoled him and they walked away from the podium to the Gulfstream after only two questions.
This is like asking a parent how he feels about his son being killed in an automobile accident.
You could hear a pin drop as they walked away to the jet.
