    Isn't anyone slightly off put by the fact a ranking CIA offical was killed with blunt force trauma.... think maybe he might have known a few things they (big brother) didn't want us to see or hear about. Oh, and my 30 seconds of type is twice the effort CNN's Mr. Allan "Tweet the Deets" Chernoff seem to want to put in!

    It shows he knows how to copy & paste. Like all the other media, nowadays, they repeat those who broke the story even if the basic facts have not been established. No one does ANY of their own research anymore. The next day the media has to make corrections and the first one to make a correction is copied verbatim by everyone else.

    Who? John Wheeler. What? From blunt force trauma. When? After being assaulted. Where? Not given. Why? Not given. Well, that's 3 out of 5. Beats Fox News.

    Jeez...I hate the way this news story muddled my opinion with all those facts and figures, the reporter sure did go off on a tangent, eh? Maybe next time he writes a story, he can keep it down to 2 or 3 letters.

    This from Forbes online:
    "Wheeler's military career included serving in the office of the secretary of defense and writing a manual on the effectiveness of biological and chemical weapons, which recommended that the United States not use biological weapons."

    Wheeler was found dead in a garbage truck. A few witnesses in the preceding few days said he looked extremely disoriented as if he was extremely drunk/drugged or had perhaps suffered a stroke.
