That is is from the Army Times:

Soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center’s Medical Hold Unit say they have been told they will wake up at 6 a.m. every morning and have their rooms ready for inspection at 7 a.m., and that they must not speak to the media.

“Some soldiers believe this is a form of punishment for the trouble soldiers caused by talking to the media,” one Medical Hold Unit soldier said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

So these brave soldiers go to Iraq and get injured. When they return they are put in rat-infested rooms while they are supposed to heal. Some soldiers decide that isn’t right and talks to the media about the problems, and for this they get this treatment? This is highly FUCKED UP!

The article goes on to say how the Pentagon is even trying to black out the media from this story:

The Pentagon also clamped down on media coverage of any and all Defense Department medical facilities, to include suspending planned projects by CNN and the Discovery Channel, saying in an e-mail to spokespeople: “It will be in most cases not appropriate to engage the media while this review takes place,” referring to an investigation of the problems at Walter Reed.

Transparency in government? Not with Hitler in the White House. I believe it is time for Congress to suspend all other actions and investigate solely on this. This is not only impeachment type activity, but most likely criminal activity. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and even possibly Gates are all probably suspects in this. Why is it possibly criminal? Because there is an investigation into donations to the hospital being funneled to other organizations that the higher ups are interested in. All these people are now helping to cover this up. Treating our injured soldiers this way would justify the same fate Saddam had.
