If she doesn't want to speak about it, fine, then they should say so. Most people would understand and respect that. It's the conflicting reports of first, amnesia, and now the following *pronouncement* which make for skepticism and my use of *gag* order (bold text is my emphasis):

At the Pentagon last week, U.S. Army spokesman Lt. Col. Ryan Yantis said the door to Lynch remains closed as she continues her recovery at Washington's Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

"Until such time as she wants to talk — and that's going to be no time soon, and it may be never at all — the press is simply going to have to wait."

I don't know about you, but I have two uncles who went to their graves with military and government secrets because they were told to keep them and also warned of what might happen if they did not. My father and brother both had high security clearance in the government and military respectively and were likewise sworn to secrecy. If one of their superiors was quoted as hers is above, you can bet they'd consider themselves further gagged, no questions asked.
