1. You would think that Dick Cheney could get to the bottom of this real quick.
But he probably regards this as a perk for the people filling his deep pockets.

2. Exactly...
Cheney and his cronies probably look at this as some sort of sick 'perk' to the job.

BTW, in the audio she talks about being reminded how easily 'accidents' can happen out in remote posts like Basra -- that link as of right now is not working right.
