H1N1 (Swine) Flu Update No 29, in Today's News 08.13.09

H1N1 (Swine) Flu. Associated Press headline: "Swine flu on the rise for U.S. troops in Iraq". The article has twelve inches of copy!! It goes on and on about the details of swine flu in Iraq. 

And somewhere in the middle of the article: "'None [!!] have been significantly ill [!!]. None have required hospitalization or evacuation,' [!!] Col. Michael Eisenhower, chief of clinical operations in Iraq, told the Associated Press..." [Emphasis added.]

So, an illness that made no one significantly ill merits a major news article by the AP. It makes no sense.  Unless you know that the cryptocracy word is out to sensationalize any event that involves H1N1 flu.
