   I smell Pulitzer all the way on this excellent well written, but somewhat lengthy article. What research!

   Yes... Riveting reporting. Where the hell are the details? What kind of assault... Obviously a blunt force trauma is an assault so what the hell CNN????

   Mr Wheeler was telling people before he was found dead that he was not drunk. I think he was poisioned or given something like GHB beforehand . We will never know because he was silenced by a BIG organization. You decide who.

   This deeply insightful and in depth article has certainly given me much to think about.
   The author is surely in line for a Pulitzer. I for one applaud your investigative skills.

   Amazing the man died from blunt force trauma, the same thing they said killed all the birds in Arkansas, I guess they didn't want him blowing the whistle on what really happened to those birds, OR the chemical weapons being moved by air from the Arkansas weapons depot.

10. Haiku anyone?
    

    Amazing economy of words, but I'll do you one better. I'll do it in Haiku form:

    Pentagon John dead.
    What was the cause of it all?
    A bonk on the head.

    If you are referring to the author, Allen Chenoff, he does not need a vacation! Paul taught him everything he knows.

    Wow, it took me a few tries to get through this story. The writing was so in-depth and the effort Allan Chernoff put into writing this shows he deserves his salary. I assume he's earned a long vacation. Is this what they now teach at Journalism school. "The news should never be more than one sentence, and that sentence should be exactly the same as the headline, but with a couple extra words!"

    Great journalism by CNN
