My Official rebuttal to the Pentagon Press Conference..feel free to pitch in

[w8liftinglady]

Sirs:
As the mother of a wounded veteran of this war,I watched with great interest your press conference regarding the abhorrant conditions at walter reed Hospital.You can imagine my displeasure at seeing both of your spokepeople basically spew the same garbage.."If only we had been told by the troops"
I know the technology that exists at the Pentagon is at least as good as my Dell Dimension.Why is it with 5 minutes on Google,I was able to find the following,and your staff...and your commander-in-chief-could not?
First of all,I refer you to this article regarding retaliation against those who speak out:

it is from 2004.No excuse.

Let's explore the deplorable conditions:
