When her plane arrived at Andrews AFB MD, she was on the third stretcher removed...waiting for her was a "tight 360" of Secret Service, who had a "black-out" van for her family, and escorted her ambulance and her family separately to Walter Reed Medical Center.
My guess? President Bush doesn't want ANYTHING to happen to this soldier...press, onlookers, whatever.

Hey streetsoldier...according to dad (who's a huge Neal Boortz fan), there have been over 200 hate filled emails recieved at his radio show's website-- hate directed at Jessica Lynch and her family 
I noticed the Secret Service...so did my father, and it's frankly frightening. My dad is worried about my safety because of my website...honest. He said Boortz has recieved death threats just because he called Jessi Lynch a hero
I'm not afraid or anything, but will admit I'm wondering what will happen in a few days when Google and Yahoo search pick it up (I submitted the site on Thursday evening in hopes more people would visit and post a get well wish for Jessica). My only real concern is some nutcase posing hate or disrespectful messages toward Jessi, her family, veterans, and West Virginians.
When you know someone has threatened her (those MIB agents weren't just there for a photo op)...and you read things like heartless jerks calling soldiers wives and mothers and telling them their husband or son is dead---you know there are some really twisted kooks out there
Jessica has a very long recovery ahead from what a friend of the family told me earlier today. They (family and friends) are hoping she's home by Independence Day, but it honestly looks shaky. Her right leg was really messed up....they almost had to amputate it in Germany (when she first arrived). It's (infection) much better according to Teresa, but the doctors still cannot say with 100% assurance Jessi will ever walk again (at least without assistance).
It's agonizing to me...I broke down again this afternoon...and I'm a stranger, so I can just imagine what her family is going through. I'm doing all I can....keep the website going so she can get inspiration and know we're pulling for her, and pray.
Every time I look at either Becky's photograph or one of her little girl Madison, here come the tears

Me either Stephanie. What has that brave little girl done to deserve that?
Jessica Lynch may spend the rest of her life in pain because of the injuries she suffered...she may never walk again, or not without the aid of crutches or a cane. My grandmother was thrown from a horse when she was 15. Her shoulder was dislocated and her upper arm broken. She developed arthritis in that shoulder at age 20, and hasn't been pain free since...she'll be 90 in July
No one knows how what Jessica saw, heard, or experienced during her nine day ordeal will affect her emotionally down the road. I know a couple things I'm sworn to secrecy not to disclose, but I can say this...if it's accurate, Jessica was tortured far beyond what the news media is reporting...beyond anything I've heard anyone say There's a reason both my uncle and me had tears in our eyes this afternoon. He's a church pastor, and is shocked at the brutality used against a girl of that size and age. So is my dad...a Korean War veteran.
I don't care if Jessica is a United States soldier...she wasn't over there to harm anything larger than a scorpion, and those b####### knew it. If they had the internet know-how to find and print Jessica's parents photograph off media websites to use as psychological torture, they knew full well she was in Iraq to supply thirsty troops and vehicles with water--not kill, and knew very little information if any useful to the Iraqi's. If it's true she withstood the torture for five minutes I've been told about and not tell more than her "name, rank, serial number", she's beyond heroic...because there's no way 99.9% of Americans could take it...I couldn't, and will readily admit it.
What they did to her was horrible enough...now she's getting hate mail and death threats, and from Americans? I don't get it...honestly. Dad said maybe it's because she reportedly shot several Iraqi soldiers, but my Lord, she was trying to save her life...it was self defense. What was she supposed to do? Hide under the truck??
We'd might as well admit it. There's an evil out there, a sick twisted evil so perverted it's unbelievable. I recieved close to 100 kind, thankful, and appreciative emails since April 4th because of my website...many said tears streamed down their face while viewing it. I've ALSO recieved three that honestly shocked me.
I was labeled as a "dirty old man", "infatuated", offering a "bribe" to a vunerable girl because I pitied her. I showed them to my cousin this afternoon, a sheriff deputy...and he said it was sick. That I'd better be careful--those were very disturbed people. My dad is worried about my safety...afraid I'll open the front door to a gun barrel, or get anthrax in the mail.
Like dad said, anyone that looks at my website and sees anything resembling perversion is crazy. Honor and compassion maybe, but not perversion.
My sister is now so afraid of internet kooks/stalkers and weirdos she no longer lists her email when she posts in guestbooks. She no longer visits/posts at forums or chatrooms.. She now lists her location as "Pacific NW". I wanted to create a small website in her honor, or at least post a photo vidcap of her from some camcorder video so folks in Jessica's hometown could see the resemblance to Jessi and she said no way.
In all honesty, she's not really comfortable with me posting even her FIRST name or her childrens first names...not on websites or on boards, including this one. It's because of horror stories she sees on the news.
Stories like a petite little 19 year old supply clerk that was ambushed, nearly tortured and starved to death; and still gets hate mail and apparently, death threats so credible she's being guarded by Secret Service and FBI agents
Maybe it's true....publicity nowadays is dangerous. I saw a "risk of being murdered" test on a law enforcement site, and it clearly mentioned your risk was higher the more times you were on tv, on the radio, your photograph or letter to the editor posted in a newspaper (I guess the same goes for the WWW).
My dad isn't begging me to discontinue the website (I wouldn't anyway...I'd die first); but he is worried, and advised me to stop promoting it (seeking more get well posts for the board). He's very upset I submitted it to Google and Yahoo--but they'd get it at the end of April regardless....when the meta crawlers seem to update.
Maybe I'm crazy, but don't really think or worry about dying anymore. It'll happen to me someday regardless...so why let it ruin my life? If Jessica can withstand what she did with honor and bravery, the least I can do is have the courage and fortitude to keep her site online regardless of threats or anything else that occur.

Unfortunately Jet there are alot of sickos out there. Some do things like this for the kicks, some for their 15 minutes of fame, others unfortunately because their views are so extreme, believe that soldiers like Jessica represent not liberation, but as killers. I certainly hope that they find each and every one of these people that have threatened thses people.
