ALERT: Jessica Lynch to be in February Hustler!

[Squirt]

A skin mag claimed yesterday it has pictures of Iraqi POW Jessica Lynch frolicking topless with male soldiers before she went off to war.

A spokesman for the 20-year-old Army private - the subject of Sunday's TV movie on NBC that drew 14.9 million viewers - called the plan by Hustler magazine to publish the purported photos "unspeakable."

"Leave it to [Hustler publisher] Larry Flynt to do something like this," said Paul Bogaards of Alfred Knopf, publisher of "I Am A Soldier, Too: The Jessica Lynch Story," which is being released today.

Flynt said he plans to run the photos he says he has in Hustler's February issue, which goes on sale the first week of January.

The New York Daily News Quotes Flynt as saying:

"I'm not interested in bashing Jessica Lynch, who really was a victim in this," Flynt insisted. But he said the Lynch book and movie "should have been an honest portrayal of her role in the war. Everyone wanted a hero from this war."

Flynt said he plans to run the photos he says he has in Hustler's February issue, which goes on sale the first week of January.

Purhaps it is just fox & friends wanting to see her, and anything that has to do with her, through rose colored glasses????
I dunno, its just what they reported this morning, about 45 minutes ago (to me heh heh)

Suppsoedly Flynt just claimed he bought pictures so they would NOT be published, he is "protecting" her.

By David K. Li and Bill Sanderson — Pornmeister Larry Flynt (search) said he's bought purported nude photos of Iraq war heroine Jessica Lynch (search) - to keep them from ever being published.

Flynt's claim came as Lynch and her family were feted last night at a Glamour magazine reception at the American Museum of Natural History (search) - and on the day before her authorized biography is to be released.

"I was offered photos of Jessica Lynch. I purchased them in order to keep them out of circulation, not to publish them," Flynt, publisher of Hustler magazine, said in a statement read by a publicist.

"Jessica Lynch is being used as a pawn by the media and by the government to create a hero who can sell this war to the American people."

Flynt, no friend of the Bush administration or the Republicans, said the president is using Lynch "to justify the war in Iraq."

"The U.S. government wasn't alone in their actions," his statement said. "They were co-conspirators with the media, who wanted to force-feed us a Joan of Arc."

Flynt's spokeswoman declined to reveal how much he paid for the photos, or where they came from.

Rumors of nude photos of Lynch, 20, have been swirling for several months.

In September, two Army ex-comrades allegedly tried to sell topless pictures of Lynch to Globe, a supermarket tabloid, for $200,000.

Globe turned down the offer, and some reports questioned whether the pictures were in fact real.

A half-million copies of Lynch's authorized biography, "I Am A Soldier Too: The Jessica Lynch Story," go on sale today.

The book, by former New York Times reporter Rick Bragg, discloses medical evidence that Lynch may have been sodomized after she was captured by Iraqi soldiers last March.

But Iraqi doctors say they didn't see any such evidence - and that they kept Jessica safe while she was in their care.

In an ABC News interview to air tonight, Lynch said the military was "wrong" to videotape her rescue April 1 from a hospital in the Iraqi town of Nasariyah, and that she's bothered by the military's portrayal of her ordeal.

"They used me as a way to symbolize all this stuff," Lynch said.

I sure hope he doesn't publish them. But is just goes to show ya - what you do in your youth can ALWAYS come back to haunt you.

The book, by former New York Times reporter Rick Bragg

I really like his books and articles, but this is one I'm going to pass on.

Flynt probably purposely got the word out like this on purpose. Who knows. Time will tell.

Amazing how your own fellow servicemen.. that you count on with your life in combat, are so ready to sell you out. Makes you think.

I wonder if these two guys really think they made a possitive difference in the world? Pathetic

Ok guys.. well the New York Daily News has retracted their Flynt story, OR Flynt has decided not to publish now. It's unclear from their site... what is clear is that the story I referenced earlier has changed on their website. Luckily I pasted most of the story to leenoga.com ... amazing how almost the whole story has changed now. See for yourselves:

FIRST VERSION OF STORY SAYING FLYNT WAS PUBLISHING HER PICS:

By GEORGE RUSH
DAILY NEWS COLUMNIST


Jessica Lynch


Britney Spears is flanked by ex-prisoners of war Shoshana Johnson (l.) and Jessica Lynch at Glamour’s 'Women of the Year' event last night at Museum of Natural History.

A skin mag claimed yesterday it has pictures of Iraqi POW Jessica Lynch frolicking topless with male soldiers before she went off to war.
A spokesman for the 20-year-old Army private - the subject of Sunday's TV movie on NBC that drew 14.9 million viewers - called the plan by Hustler magazine to publish the purported photos "unspeakable."

"Leave it to [Hustler publisher] Larry Flynt to do something like this," said Paul Bogaards of Alfred Knopf, publisher of "I Am A Soldier, Too: The Jessica Lynch Story," which is being released today.

"Jessica Lynch was left for dead and left as a prisoner of war," Bogaards told the Daily News. "If she can survive that, she can survive anything."

Bogaards said he had not asked Lynch about the magazine's claim of topless photos, but added: "It's unspeakable that someone would stoop to these levels. ... The press has been using Jessica Lynch to serve its own needs."

Lynch's new torment erupted the day before Veterans Day - and on the same night she made a dramatic appearance at a Manhattan awards event with fellow rescued POW Shoshana Johnson and pop star Britney Spears.

Lynch, walking in public for the first time since her rescue, used crutches to enter the American Museum of Natural History for Glamour magazine's 2003 salute to the "Women of the Year."

Flynt said he plans to run the photos he says he has in Hustler's February issue, which goes on sale the first week of January.

He claimed they show Lynch topless and cavorting with two men stationed with her at Fort Bliss, Tex., before she shipped off to Iraq last spring.

According to two people who have seen them, the person they identify as Lynch is wearing just jeans in one photo and a blue thong in another.

Flynt said the pictures - which he claimed to have gotten from two former soldiers who served with Lynch - would prove "she's not Joan of Arc."

"I'm not interested in bashing Jessica Lynch, who really was a victim in this," Flynt insisted. But he said the Lynch book and movie "should have been an honest portrayal of her role in the war. Everyone wanted a hero from this war."

Calls to Lynch's lawyer were not returned.

Flynt said Hustler consulted an outside "photo enhancement lab" to establish that the woman in the photos was Lynch. "You think I'm going to publish nude pics that aren't her?" asked Flynt, who is believed to have paid six figures for the shots. "I like owning my company."

Last year, Penthouse publisher Bob Guccione was hit with a costly lawsuit after he wrongly claimed to have topless pictures of tennis star Anna Kournikova.

Last night, Lynch and Johnson both received awards at the Glamour magazine event.

Lynch walked up the red carpet on crutches with Johnson at her side. She wore a black gown embroidered with red roses, and sneakers - the only shoes she can wear because of a brace on her left leg.

A posthumous award was presented in the memory of Lori Piestewa, the first female U.S. soldier killed in Iraq. Lynch, Johnson and Piestewa were in the same unit.

SECOND VERSION OF THE STORY SAYING FLYNT HAS CHANGED HIS PLANS

Jessica's Hustled

Porn mag pulls plan to run topless pics of G.I.

Jessica Lynch


Britney Spears is flanked by ex-prisoners of war Shoshana Johnson (l.) and Jessica Lynch at Glamour’s 'Women of the Year' event last night at Museum of Natural History.

A skin mag claimed yesterday it has pictures of Iraqi POW Jessica Lynch frolicking in the nude with male soldiers before she went off to war.
A spokesman for the 20-year-old Army private - the subject of Sunday's TV movie on NBC that drew 14.9 million viewers - called the plan by Hustler magazine to publish the purported photos "unspeakable."

"Leave it to [Hustler publisher] Larry Flynt to do something like this," said Paul Bogaards of Alfred Knopf, publisher of "I Am A Soldier, Too: The Jessica Lynch Story," which is being released today.

"Jessica Lynch was left for dead and left as a prisoner of war," Bogaards told the Daily News. "If she can survive that, she can survive anything."

But now, she may not have to weather the ordeal. On Tuesday, Flynt told The Associated Press he changed his mind about printing the pix because Lynch is a “good kid” who became “a pawn for the government."

Flynt said "he bought the photos last month from the men who purportedly participated in the amateur shoot with the undressed Army supply clerk. The soldiers “wanted to let it be known that she’s not all apple pie,” Flynt said.

“My first intention was to publish them, but I don’t think it was the best, positive move I could make,” Flynt said in a telephone interview. “She’s very much a pawn for the government. They force-fed us a Joan of Arc.”

Flynt said the photos will be locked in a vault “alongside of a lot of other good stuff.”

In an interview with the AP on Tuesday, Lynch declined to comment on any aspect of the matter, including whether such photos exist.

Her attorney, Stephen Goodwin, said in a statement: “It’s incredulous that anyone would think it appropriate in any way to attempt to publish unauthorized photos of Jessica - photos taken before she was deployed to Iraq and before her capture and rescue.”

Bogaards said earlier that he had not asked Lynch about the magazine's claim of topless photos, but added: "It's unspeakable that someone would stoop to these levels. ... The press has been using Jessica Lynch to serve its own needs."

Lynch's new torment erupted the day before Veterans Day - and on the same night she made a dramatic appearance at a Manhattan awards event with fellow rescued POW Shoshana Johnson and pop star Britney Spears.

Lynch, walking in public for the first time since her rescue, used crutches to enter the American Museum of Natural History for Glamour magazine's 2003 salute to the "Women of the Year."

Flynt had said he planned to run the photos he says he has in Hustler's February issue, which goes on sale the first week of January.

He said Tuesday the photographs appeared to be have been taken in an Army barracks, and showed Lynch topless and fully nude, frolicking with other soldiers before she shipped off to Iraq last spring.

Flynt said Hustler consulted an outside "photo enhancement lab" to establish that the woman in the photos was Lynch. "You think I'm going to publish nude pics that aren't her?" Flynt asked yesterday, who is believed to have paid six figures for the shots. "I like owning my company."

A posthumous award was presented in the memory of Lori Piestewa, the first female U.S. soldier killed in Iraq. Lynch, Johnson and Piestewa were in the same unit.

"This Glamour Women of the Year event honors heroes," Lynch said. "To me, the real heroes are those who have given their lives for our nation, the soldiers who risked their lives to rescue me, the professionals who served in the military medical department - they perform miracles every day to save lives. To me, these are heroes."

'Jessica Lynch to be in February Hustler!'

Have you a direct quote from Flynt or his publicist claiming they would release them?

Whether he publishes them or not, it cracks me up to see how people reacted to it. People love freedom so long as no one does anything that offends them personally.

Freedom is wonderful.

Same freedom that allows Jessica Lynch to come home and make millions of dollars off of her notoriety allows Larry Flynt to publish pictures of her he legally obtained and make a profit from it. You cant have one without the other.

If she's "frolicking topless" with her male comrades, it aint like the girl is bashful about her body. Larry is exactly right in his quotes, everyone is trying to put her up on a pedestal and make her out to be Joan of Arc. She's just a little West Virginia girl who was serving her country and ended up in wrong place at the wrong time and the events that happened to her made for an interesting story that has captivated the country.
