MSNBC: Los Alamos whistle blower silenced by beating? - (VIDEO)
June 7, 2005

Video - MSNBC: Los Alamos whistle blower silenced by beating?

Tommy Hook has a pending lawsuit against the University of California alleging whistle-blower retaliation. He had been scheduled to testify before the House Energy and Commerce Committee later this month about alleged financial irregularities at the nuclear weapons lab.

"They left him in the parking lot for dead," Hook's lawyer, Robert Rothstein, said Monday at a news conference.

1. They made him look in more pain by tweaking the image
there was one image released and the show it at an angle...

What a bunch of clowns.


How they fuck us...

5. Why would you doubt that he is in great pain?
And, why would the media tweak it to show him to be in great pain? Isn't he a whistle blower--something the Bushies* hold in great contempt? I don't get your point.

I hope he hangs in their--great courage, that guy...

6. Have you ever had a morphine drip?
More pain, more fear, it made him also look disfigured.

10. I bet the assailants will commit suicide.
Dead men tell no tales, injured men often do.
Any takers?
