after discharging her last round of ammunition, or the former NFL star who is 
heroically cut down by enemy fire in Afghanistan while fighting for his 
country.</P></SPAN></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.bucyrustelegraphforum.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070502/OPINION02/705020319">The very concept of truth appears lost on the Pentagon,</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.bucyrustelegraphforum.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070502/OPINION02/705020319">Clearly, we have to get to the bottom of this.
