from SLATE's daily news summary, 11/27/05: >The LA [TIMES] indirectly questions the findings in the suicide of a U.S. colonel stationed in Iraq. One day Col. Ted Westhusing was investigating allegations of corruption by U.S. contractors in Iraq, the next he shot himself in the head, less than a month before he was scheduled to return home. The LAT won't come out and say that some of the details in Westhusing's death don't quite add up, but it's clear that the LAT is skeptical of the official explanation. Either way, the story says a lot about what life is like for soldiers serving in Iraq: It's either incredibly corrupt or impossibly depressing.< -- Jim Devine "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
