Case of LaVena Johnson Finally Gets National Attention

Tue May 01, 2007 at 07:05:20 AM PDT

This is a case that I have been following for a long time. The case of Army Pvt. Lavena Johnson has been under the nations radar for two years. But it now looks as if things are finally beginning to move.... See video of latest developments here.

Johnson, a 19 year old soldier from St. Louis, was killed in Iraq in 2005. However, the suspicious circumstances surrounding her death point to murder and a government cover-up. The case has been stalled for several months, due to stonewalling by the Army. However, the U.S. Congress has now gotten involved in the case. This is the first sign of any significant national involvement. The case had basically been ignored on the national level, until now. It was only a local story.... But with the recent revelations about Jessica Lynch, Pat Tillman and others, the Johnson case is finally getting at least some national attention.

Ironically.... if the truth comes to light about the LaVena Johnson case, it could easily dwarf the cases of Pat Tillman and Jessica Lynch (as if those cases were not bad enough).
