Lynch, who has fair skin and fine blond hair that falls to her shoulders, physically recoils when she recounts her time in the hospi tal, a time when her hope dwin dled each day that she would see home again — or even survive. But she said that as she lay in a bed at Saddam Hussein General Hospital, her body wracked, she decided: “I wasn’t going to let myself die there.” “I was detennined,” she said. “In my mind, I was thinking, Tve got family to get back to, I’ve got a boyfriend. I’ve got all these things to see and do when I get home.”’ Lynch spoke with the AP as her biography, “I Am a Soldier, Too,” hit bookstores nationwide. It was written by Rick Bragg, who resigned from The New York Times after a free-lancer helped him with a story without receiv ing credit. Bragg was present dur ing the AP interview with Lynch. The book describes the Iraqi doctors and nurses who cared for her as thoughtful and gentle people who repeatedly and secretly tried to see her to freedom.

He says he convened experts in the field so the Vatican could make an informed decision, although critics said the majority of participants were pro-biotech. The issue of world hunger is of particular con cern to the Vatican, which denies responsibility for contributing to the problem, rejecting arguments that its ban on contraception helps fuel food inse curity by promoting larger families.
