Did they back away from accounts of local citizens who said they were apparently being threatened for talking about what they saw? The plot thickens. A new cover up in the making? Watch the last half of this youtube.video too. James Fox on Larry King makes similar claims of people being silenced. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZ_kg_8oee8

POPSFive Signs of Job Burnout These physical signs are common indicators of job stress, and demonstrate that this can turn into a physical problem. If you are experiencing these symptoms, it's time to make some changes. You can start by talking to your boss or someone in your human resources department about how you can confront the problem together by redefining deadlines, delegating or outsourcing a project or two. In her book "Stress Management for Busy People," Carol A. Turkington recommends taking these proactive steps: # Learn to say no. # Reevaluate your goals. # Reduce your commitments at work and at home. # Learn stress management skills. # Get plenty of rest and eat a healthy diet. Finally, give yourself a break. This means taking your vacation days, no matter how important you job is, and taking little breaks every day to re-group, re-energize and unwind. Remember, if you don't take care of yourself in the office, you work will suffer and your health may pay the price, too.
