    As reported on the ES&T news 4 Apr 07:

    New research provides an indirect way to estimate pathogen concentrations in aerosols produced during the spreading of dewatered class B biosolids.

    As more and more farmers spread solid waste from sewage treatment plants onto their fields, people living in rural areas have begun reporting sicknesses that could be related to the dispersal of these biosolids.

    There shouldn't be any 'Contractors' in a 'war' (Iraq Civil, our Occupation)Zone, never mind the Government paying their families death benifits with our Tax-Dollars.

    These Mercinaries, first loyality is to the Corporation paying them, Not our Country! Each one of them receive ten times the pay Our Soldiers do, with non of the accountablity, to we the People!

    These contractors are a bunch of Profitteers! Bush's and the Pentagons 'Private' Army. They have already been allowed to use force and carry weapons on American Soil, against American citizens!

    Since when does this country allow for private armies (just one of which is 200,000 strong) to operate within the United States? Pay them with Our Tax Dollars, and then pay for their death benefits if they die? Most people work for a private company, build roads, schools, power plants ect. does the Government pay Your family a death benefit if you die on the job? Or is that your employer's responsiblity?
