pan,
I addressed a few of your points, but I think you deserve a more personalized response.
I do think that sometimes the DOD reporting on itself is like the Fox reporting on the Chicken count, but that is supposedly why we also have congressional oversite, imperfect as it can be. I am also aware of the Agent Orange debacle, as well as the atomic medicine tests, syphilis tests, etc. and frankly, I think a few Army folks should have been sent to prison for a long time.
But in this case, there are other reports out there that conflict, some dramatically. As to actual numbers, ie, when do we stop using them, what proof is enough, etc., I really don't have an answer to that. I suppose if I did, I would be in another line of work.
