Don Imus blasts Halliburton over their refusal to contribute...

...to a hospital being set up to rehabilitate amputees from the Iraqi war. I don't have the specific information about the hospital, but they are looking for $10 million to set this up. Imus said his visit to Walter Reed was so depressing after the only equipment he saw to help in rehabilitation was a medicine ball and a treadmill. Anyone else see this?

Where is congress? Where are America's corporations??

1. considering tht the soldiers are over there fighting for Haliburton's secu
they should be setting up a hospital. Where's Congress? good question, wonder why no one is tallking about this? I think it's just a forgone conclusion in the government that injured soldiers cost a lot of money to take care of and they don't want to address it

2. here are some details
Imus pointed out that they are trying to setup a hospital in Texas which is where Halliburton is based ... he did a great job making Halliburton look really bad because of their refusal to contribute to the building fund ...

here's a link to the website that Imus mentioned: http://www.fallenheroesfund.org/fallenheroes/index.php
