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.

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...
