in Agriprocessors Imports Homeless Workers and Postville Pays a Price on The Iowa Independent
Hmm? She chose to leave that location without informing those responsible for housing, and she went to a different house without authorization.


"...without authorization"?  Are you kidding me?  "Guests" need authorization to leave your "guest-houses"?


"... flooding in the area"?  Really?  What flooding?  And where did the other residents of your "guest-house" go, since there were electrical and boiler issues?

in Where is the Republican Leadership? Stalled Suicide Prevention Bill Irks Iowa Democratic Veterans on The Iowa Independent
Coburn is wrong Coburn called the bill insulting to veterans and warned that its mandatory mental-health screening could harm their future job options.


The bill doesn't call for mandatory screening of veterans, it mandates that screening be available to them.  Veterans aren't required to undergo screening for continued health care or any other reason.


I think Coburn's real fear is the "possibility" that veterans might be turned down for a firearm purchase in the future.  Evidently, he considers the 2nd Amendment more important than the safety of the veterans and their community. 


Meanwhile, icasualties.org reports 122 self-inflicted deaths for Iraq vets, as of 8/31/07.  What exactly does Coburn think he's protecting?
