Panel Probes Electrocution of Troops

Accidents happen everywhere all the time - while this is terrible, you people have got to cut the conspiracy about everything crap - being military related there is a lot of red tape involved with everything and the reason for it is that some people think that the American people and the enemy need to know everything going on every minute of every day. If you are going to blame them and the Feds for everything they will just work harder to protect themselves and wil take steps to have more control of everything. It's pretty sad that our government has to make sure it protect the American people from threat but also has to protect themselves from the American people.

<<<<<<v88z 05:53:23 PM Mar 22 2008 Why aren't the names and details available regarding ALL the US military personnel that Bush-CHeney's favorite contractor companies over there have electrocuted? What's the secret? Why the coverup? Who the hell is responsible for providing this information to the American people? The Bush-Cheney mess is as incompetent in getting new details out as it is about keeping its brainwashed soldiers from being electrocuted.>>>>>>>>>>

I guess your Haldol prescription lapsed, heh? Psychiatrist out of town? Surely someone is on call............

to stevied1964. I was drafted in 1959 and went kicking and screaming. The alternatives were 3 o4 4 enlistments in other services or an 8 year commitment in the National Guard. I sure did NOT want to be exposed for EIGHT years. Anyway, the "service" was a total waste of time. By knowing the Regs I got out three months early to go back to school, thank god. By the way, one of my MOSs was Personnel Specialist and one duty was to screen aptitude records of several battalions for persons likely to pass GED tests and then recommend them for testing. I'll tell you one thing, by the time one got down to Bush's level of aptitude, personnel simply WERE NOT passing GEDs. And yet this pampered, silver-spoon-fed idiot is in the White House and apparently flew a jet. Good god!

Oh yes, and while Congress works on their toenails, Herr Bush entertains his reporters with tap dance routines at the White House. All he needed was a Roman Harp, and he could have sung as well.

(6) Why has your administration AND ITS COMPLICIT Media kept quiet about this incident for almost 3 months? Here we are on March 21-22 and the incident occurred on January 2? (7) Why is it that Rep Henry Waxman has ONLY NOW asked the Defense Department for "details" about the electrocutions? What has Congress done about the eleven ELECTROCUTIONS that have occurred up to now?
(8) Can anyone in the AOL audience spell INCOMPETENCE, COVERUP, SITTING ON ONE'S ASS WHILE ROME BURNS? (9) We didn't even electrocute McVey (well, maybe we didn't even inject him with anything lethal either) but electrocution is something so horrible it is reserved as punishment for only the most heinous criminal behavior, and yet here we're electocuting US Army military personel, and Congress has apparently been sitting cutting its toenails by the side of their swimming pools and clipping their stock coupons.

Questions to the most evil and corrupt administration in the history of the United States: 1. This is the 12th electrocution. The first 5 were in 2004. Why in hell haven't you done anything about this (other than issue a warning) for four years??????? (2) Why aren't the names of the other 11 IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE? (3) Why were not criminal charges brought against those responsible for the other electrocutions? (4) What legal briefs have been filed regarding those other eleven deaths? (5) Did the Army and the Bush Administration intend to sit on these virtual murders forever? (6) If the parents hadn't brought legal charges, would your criminal administration simply remained silent about this?

(continued) But, dear young Americans, you'll have to be careful about taking showers over there. Rich Bush-Cheney contractors worth multi-billions of dollars intend on keeping every cent they can squeeze out of the great scam so they skip essential steps in their contracted work. They may get millions of dollars to install an electrical system in an Army barracks but they'll simply skip the step of grounding the system, so, alas, you can end up in your shower some night getting cooked like a crab in a crab pot. And there go your college benes and your promotion possibilties and your salary increase possibilities.

Attention American Youth! For a shocking experience while in the service of EVIL, be all you can be and join the Bush-Cheney Army of Hell. Enjoy the thrill of slaughtering innocent Iraqi and Afghani Citizens. Wear night vision glasses and slaughter the poor fools as they cross streets in darkness or bring clothes in off their clothes lines . Rat tat tat! and you can pick off a dozen at a time and they won't even know what hit them. All for the cause of added wealth for war-profiteering companies such as the Cheney-connected Halliburton Co. The Bush-Cheney-McCain plan is to be over there for 100 years so, if you're man or woman enough, you can keep experiencing extended tours and enjoy 30 years of slaughter without even having to get shipped back state side! Very secure career!
