3. I think the latest piece of VA harware to go missing was an external
hard drive.

What was it - info on 40,000 vets?

As someone said on another post - someone is paying big money for that data. The question is - who and what are they doing with the data?

My guess is Blackwater or some similar org is using the info for recruiting leads.
