ILL Wind

by Thomas Whittle

 

Tom Whittle, editor at Freedom Magazine, devoted years to checking and cross checking every aspect of this penetrating examination of Gulf War Illness. 

From Whittle's report one can readily conclude that President Clinton's Gulf War Illness committee, chaired by Joyce Lashof, a psychiatrist,  "glossed" over evidence and disregarded critical testimony from senior military officers.

Colonel David Irvine, now a Brigadier General, testified before the committee as to the life long debilitating health problems that members of his command incurred after inventorying tents, tarps, and other equipment returning from the Gulf. The equipment was never examined by the committee. Ironically, even prior to reports of illnesses, this equipment had been ordered to be stored at Dugway Proving Grounds, Utah; the Army's Chemical Warfare center.  

Lashof's group ignored Congressman Cook's verbal and written requests for the committee to speak with Colonel Schumacher and other officers that could have verified the exisitence of biological agent delivery systems recovered from the battlefield.
