as well as being honest in her account of the ambush..
She pretty well called the gov't and the media a bunch of liars for their portrayal of her as going down fighting.. emptying her gun on the iraqi soldiers.. yada yada..

The Washinton Post is the one that broke the story and is the one that hyped it...as "going down fighting" etc. based upon "sources" and no one knows what "sources" or if the "sources" even existed. The rest of the media...not to be left out of the picture...joined in the hype. The government did not hype her story but did hype the "rescue"...to some extent...and with cause. The cause being that it was the first sucessful extraction of a POW held in enemy territory...since the Second World War.
