Re: Personal Responsibility and Pride in Service

I really enjoyed your website, but am mad at the fact that as an editor, you allow such yellow journalism on this site. I understand everyone has a right to an opinion, but distorting ones words to mean something else to benefit this Aurthers agenda is just wrong?
Here is a link to the Boston Globe below on which Renee Taylor talks about in her OPINION and she is way off base. It's the American contractors who are not getting the help. She states that I said Truckers get no support, which I didn't and feel that if you would of read her so called supported Resources you would see how this is so twisted. You must realize that her husband was a truck driver in Iraq, who is not getting the attention for helping write a song for some trucking singer, named Joey Holiday, so it seems to me that she is using my website and my name to gain media attention for herself. Proof, type in "American Contractors, or Contractors in Iraq" You can visit my website and read what I've been doing and then decided what her agenda is. Is this her OPINION or is it Yellow Journalism to get her noticed?
Also remember that when a contractors goes into Iraq the rules change and so there her sources do not come into play....KBR statements states that Truck Drivers won't drive at night, but FACT is that Truck Drivers do drive at night, KBR has changed their so called statement when ever they feel they can. I have hard copies of several different KBR Statements concerning driving in Iraq and to which all are different. If you need facts, then let me know. I would be glad to send you the information.

Here is Renee website, www.uglypuppy.net
This is not a Truckers WAR, ask Sam Walker who was injured in Musul when a Human Bomber walked in and exploded himself in a military base lunch room, or Jack H. Who was an engineer who was video taped being Beheaded in Iraq.
Really now, all I request is that the word "Trucker" be switch to Contractors. I don't mind the story, let just get it right.
