bushmilhousegang bullies VA nurse who dissed them

VA Nurse in New Mexico accused of sedition

Here is part of the text of a letter to the editor written by Laura Berg, a clinical nurse specialist in Albuquerque, New Mexico:

-----
I am furious with the tragically misplaced priorities and criminal negligence of this government. The Katrina tragedy in the U.S. shows that the emperor has no clothes!...The public has no sense of the additional devastating human and financial costs of post-traumatic stress disorder....

Bush, Cheney, Chertoff, Brown, and Rice should be tried for criminal negligence....This country needs to get out of Iraq now and return to our original vision and priorities of caring for land and people and resources rather than killing for oil. . . . We need to wake up and get real here, and act forcefully to remove a government administration playing games of smoke and mirrors and vicious deceit.

Otherwise, many more of us will be facing living hell in these times.
----
Berg, who works at Albuquerque's VA Medical Center, wrote the letter to the weekly paper, the Alibi. When it was published in late September, VA officials seized Berg's computer, accusing her of using it to write the letter, and accusing her of sedition.

-snip-

The ACLU of New Mexico has filed a Freedom of Information Act request for documents relating to the incident, and is asking for a public apology to Berg. In the meantime, Berg has learned that the VA may have contacted the FBI about her, a charge the VA denies.
-------------------------------------


it's apparent the head of the human resources management services is a smirk man.

hope she has people helping her.

3. Nurses of America Unite
The Librarians are doing their part, Veterans have joined to become The Band of Brothers.

Nurses around the Nation should support this VA Nurse. If the VA Medical Personnel who are taking care of the horribly wounded troops coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan and know that this is totally a result of this administrations corruption and lies cannot speak out because they fear their administraters political support of these CON's will result in being turned into the FBI/Gestapo??
