I know you remember Bunnatine Greenhouse, KoKo. America sure doesn't.
"Bunnatine "Bunny" Greenhouse, the former chief oversight official of contracts at the Army Corps of Engineers, has reached a $970,000 settlement six years after she was demoted for publicly criticizing a multi-billion-dollar, no-bid contract to Halliburtonthe company formerly headed by then-Vice President Dick Cheney. Greenhouse had accused the Pentagon of unfairly awarding the contract to Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg Brown & Root. Testifying before Congress in June 2005, she called the contract the worst case of government abuse she had ever witnessed in her 20-year career. Just two months after that testimony, Greenhouse was demoted at the Pentagon, ostensibly for "poor performance." She had overseen government contracts for 20 years and had drawn high praise in her rise to become the senior civilian oversight official at the Army Corps of Engineers. With the help of the National Whistleblowers Center, Greenhouse filed a lawsuit challenging her demotion. In a Democracy Now! broadcast exclusive, Greenhouse announces that a settlement has been reached in what is seen as a major victory for government whistleblowers. Were also joined by Greenhouses attorney, Michael Kohn, and by Stephen Kohn, executive director of the National Whistleblowers Center.

There is no 'evidence' in the article, just supposition about chain-of-command.

Seems pretty "deliberate" to me. They aimed at their target and they hit it.

Then why? What is gained by deliberately murdering patients and doctors in such a public manner?
