In Reply to: Anyone see the Elizabeth Smart TV documentary? posted by Observer on November 11, 2003 at 18:22:50:
Yes, I saw it (or more accurately I listened to it) and found it interesting, albeit not especially informative. According to the police reports, Elizabeth was sexually assaulted as soon as her captors got her back to their camp, but this TV show didn't even give a hint of anything sexual going on during her 9 month ordeal.
Dogs aren't fool-proof, and if they waded through any streams, that could have thrown off the hounds. Her captors even hid in holes they had dug. That helped them hide from the infrared sensors onboard the search planes and helicopters.
If you've ever read Patty Hearst's book detailing her kidnapping by the Symbionese Liberation Army, you can understand how Elizabeth Smart was brainwashed into cooperating with her captors.
BTW:
I taped the Jessica Lynch story. As with the Elizabeth Smart movie, there wasn't anything new revealed in it either.
I do have some problems with some of Ms. Lynch's actions lately. I'm bothered by the fact that she hasn't bothered to meet with or even phone the Iraqi man who was responsible for alerting the U.S. military to her whereabouts. It's as though she's too busy trying to cash in on her experience. She's too busy to call the man who risked his life to tell U.S troops where she was.
