Truck carrying corpses of 30 American soldiers over-turned last summer

I'm going based on my (faulty) memory of what I heard in my car a few minutes ago, so please feel free to correct me.

Just heard on The Ed Schultz Show:

http://www.WeGotEd.com

A truck was carrying a shipment of "air freight" to an airforce base and over-turned in Tennessee.

In its cargo were thirty un-adorned boxes marked something like "prepare for funeral" that contained the corpses of American soldiers killed in Iraq.

Also in the truck was a box containing liquid Mercury (that spilled) and a shipment of live laboratory rats.

It looks like Ed is going to work with the truckdriver, a woman named Raven, to keep pulling at this story and see what unravels.

2. Live rats and dead soldiers

Shame. Shame on BushCo and the whole Skull & Bones Republican cabal of corruption.

3. Please keep us updated

Frankly, I'm skeptical until I have more proof. Bodies of dead service people are normally flown to Dover AFB for embalming and casketing before being shipped to families across the country. If this had happened overseas, well, maybe. But in Tennessee? Why would so many dead be arriving there instead of Delaware?

6. I'm also skeptical.

For the reasons you cite, plus one's natural skepticism towards women named "Raven."

He was having his producer follow-up with the woman off the air.

They've apparently got a date, time and intersection where the accident took place.

8. I heard that, also. Very, very sad...but nothing these fuckers do

surprises me anymore. They don't give a shit about the troops. Hell, they don't give a shit about the citizens of this country, for that matter.
