Ft. Hood Gets The Jessica Lynch Treatment

This is what happens when you don't wait for the facts to come out and jump on the first story you hear.

Shortly after last week's Ft. Hood shooting massacre, Sgt. Kimberly Munley of the Killeen, TX, police department was widely credited as the heroic cop who brought Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan's rampage to an end by shooting him four times while being wounded by gunfire herself. A Ft. Hood official told the media that the diminutive Munley, who was shot in both legs and one of her wrists, fired on Hasan twice, which then drew his attention to her, and then fired again while she was on the ground. But now it appears as though that account was inaccurate and that another Killeen police officer, Sgt. Mark Todd, was actually the person who fired the shots that brought down Hasan.

P.S.: I don't blame Jessica Lynch for what the military and the media did with her story, she's a brave woman and we're a better country for her; but nonetheless her name has become synonomous with "hero propaganda."
