Vets vs Gitmo Prisoners
In a stunning statement of this administration's priorities, prisoners
at Guantanamo Bay are treated better than our own veterans.
According to retired Navy Commander J.D. Gordon, there are about 100
doctors, nurses and healthcare providers assigned to treat 150 Gitmo
prisoners. That's a ratio of about 1.5 prisoners for every one doctor.
Meanwhile, our VA healthcare system treats 9 million veterans yet we
have 267,930 VA employees. That measures up to a ratio of 35 veterans
for a every one VA healthcare professional.
In other words, terrorists at Gitmo have easier access to care than
Americans who have risked their lives defending our freedom. It's hard
to
imagine a greater injustice.
Another stunning revelation related to the VA comes from Los Angeles, California. As many as 60 bodies of veterans have sat in an L.A. morgue for over a
year and a half. Just recently, 28 bodies were finally moved to the Riverside National Cemetery for a proper burial.
These stories keep coming day after day and demonstrate that there is a
lot of work to be done in order to get our veterans the care they've
deserved all along.

Where Are They Now?
Apparently leaking secret identities is only outrageous if it is done by
a Republican administration.
About ten years ago, Democrats in Washington and the liberal media
establishment were outraged after a State Department official in the
Bush
administration leaked the name of CIA employee Valerie Plame.
Plame's identity was mistakenly revealed by State Department official
Richard Armitage. It shouldn't have happened, but it did and Democrats
were hyperventilating over the need to punish the administration for
such a mistake. At the time, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and others made
statements of this being a breach of national security that "cannot be
tolerated" and people need to be held accountable. Millions of dollars
were spent on an investigation, which they tried to pin on the Bush
White House when it was known from early on that the leak came from the
State Department...(continued)
