CNN.com - Army: GIs refused mission because of safety concerns - Oct 17, 2004

Ok, I was going to remain quiet about this, but since CNN seems to want to make it part of the John Kerry campaign...

I've got an inside source, of someone who is serving overseas in the AO of where this 'incident' took place. Suffice it to say that this particular unit is not viewed in a positive light by other units serving with them. Suffice it to say that the reason their vehicles were "not right for the job" is that members of this unit have sabotaged their own equipment by cutting brake lines and putting water in their gasoline.

Funny how THAT didn't make it onto the vaunted pages of CNN. Maybe they're just missing Baghdad Bob too much to actually try and do some honest to god reporting.
