they will contract a deadly disease through contaminated blood supplied by 
America.

The MoD said last night: “Where time is of the essence, it can be clinically 
essential to use American or other coalition medical facilities and their 
blood or blood products if they can be made available sooner or are nearer.</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.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article671505.ece">
