This proves CNN is not biased at all
AP: Troops sickened at Iraq bases using KBR water

Dozens of U.S. troops in Iraq fell sick at bases using "unmonitored and potentially unsafe" water supplied by the military and a contractor once owned by Vice President Dick Cheney's former company, the Pentagon's internal watchdog says.

I hear they got to the water using oil supplied by one of Bush's old buddies.

No sarge, they got the water on a discount. DOn't you know all conservatives want dirty water and air...(since as it goes to reason we have our own supplies of the stuff)

and then we read Sale's stuff and think....

Expressive Dysphasia
Expressive dysphasia, also known as motor dysphasia, produces a conscious and recognizable disruption of a patient?s speech production and language output. This includes the impairment of speech initiation, proper grammatical sequencing, and proper word forming and articulation. Although patients can perfectly understand what is said to them, they have great difficulty communicating their thoughts.

That story is about four years old, if not older.

I just thought it was funny how the reporter made it a point to say that the company was once owned by a company that was once owned by Dick Cheney. It reminded me of a line from Spaceballs: The Movie

Dark Helmet: Before you die there is something you should know about us, Lone Star.
Lone Starr: What?
Dark Helmet: I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate.
Lone Starr: What's that make us?
Dark Helmet: Absolutely nothing! Which is what you are about to become.

Tilt, I wrote that on an 'porta potty' wall in 1958.

If that story is over 4 years old, Tilt, why was it updated recently, in an election year???

North Dakota Sen. Byron Dorgan, who has led Democratic inquiries.

I guess you didn't see it the first time ---- I don't know if Fox or the Washington Times reported it.   It was big news on C-SPAN, the News Hour, etc.

Dorgan held multiple independant hearings on these types of things over the last few years.   They were more like extended press conferences because the majority leadership in Congress would not investigate these kinds of things before 2007.   The whistleblowers who testified at the time *were* under oath.

As I recall, no Republican Senators attended.

Help me understand this, please... I have to be missing somehing here...

"Dozens of U.S. troops in Iraq fell sick at bases using "unmonitored and potentially unsafe" water supplied by the military and a contractor once owned by Vice President Dick Cheney's former company, the Pentagon's internal watchdog says.

What's your point? Because a company that USED to be owned by a company that Cheney USED to work for supplied the product that it's Cheney's fault?

You whacko's are taking "the 6 degrees of separation" to new heights!

WAIT... I have a news flash! - I USED to know someone who USED to live in New Jersey who knew someone who was convicted of a serious crime... SO.. SINCE HE'S A NEW JERSEY RESIDENT IT WAS OBVIOUSLY VIOLIN'S FAULT AND HE SHOULD BE EXECUTED FOR HIS PARTICIPATION!

What do you mean wicked? It says right on the website that Fox news is fair and balanced. This just shows that Fox isn't afraid to post things critical of the government even though certain segments of the population say Fox is anything BUT fair and balanced.

If Fox news is so conservative, why do they call themselves by the name of an animal? Conservatives hate animals. They should call themselves Big Oil News, or Power Tie News.

OH my GOD..squirrel...you quoted Spaceballs? THat is incredible.

I think CNN reported it because as the "Governor" said in Blazing Saddles," We have to protect our phoney Baloney jobs."

personally I am waiting for this to happen.

LOL.....this is a prime example of why the agenda-driven left demonizes reporters like John Stossel. (wonder if roseymonster considers him a credible source?) He takes a story just like this one and then picks it apart. Only someone who is not honest with themself could not see the intent of the article.
