here's the article in whole:
Walter Reed patients told to keep quiet

By Kelly Kennedy - Staff writer
Posted : Wednesday Feb 28, 2007 13:37:17 EST

Soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center’s Medical Hold Unit say they have been told they will wake up at 6 a.m. every morning and have their rooms ready for inspection at 7 a.m., and that they must not speak to the media.

“Some soldiers believe this is a form of punishment for the trouble soldiers caused by talking to the media,” one Medical Hold Unit soldier said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

It is unusual for soldiers to have daily inspections after Basic Training.

Soldiers say their sergeant major gathered troops at 6 p.m. Monday to tell them they must follow their chain of command when asking for help with their medical evaluation paperwork, or when they spot mold, mice or other problems in their quarters.

They were also told they would be moving out of Building 18 to Building 14 within the next couple of weeks. Building 14 is a barracks that houses the administrative offices for the Medical Hold Unit and was renovated in 2006. It’s also located on the Walter Reed Campus, where reporters must be escorted by public affairs personnel. Building 18 is located just off campus and is easy to access.

The soldiers said they were also told their first sergeant has been relieved of duty, and that all of their platoon sergeants have been moved to other positions at Walter Reed. And 120 permanent-duty soldiers are expected to arrive by mid-March to take control of the Medical Hold Unit, the soldiers said.

As of Tuesday afternoon, Army public affairs did not respond to a request sent Sunday evening to verify the personnel changes.

The Pentagon also clamped down on media coverage of any and all Defense Department medical facilities, to include suspending planned projects by CNN and the Discovery Channel, saying in an e-mail to spokespeople: “It will be in most cases not appropriate to engage the media while this review takes place,” referring to an investigation of the problems at Walter Reed.

49. that link is still coming up "awol". Have they pulled it?

If it's okay with you, I'm going to cut and paste your post and put it on MySpace blog and bulletin.

Has it been picked up anywhere else? Or any other links I can use to put with my post?

[w8liftinglady]

54. several threads on DU

[Cabcere]

44. K&R

in between sending out e-mails. :)

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, w8liftinglady - and for providing the means to contact people who can do something about it! :thumbsup:

[w8liftinglady]

45. I figure if they get 1000 emails and phone calls-they have to pay attention..My dream,anyway

[w8liftinglady]

48. again

[lyonn]

51. This is flagrant insults to our troops that have paid a big price

for this administrations lack of IQ. This administration that goes by their gut reactions and godly gift of having a direct line to Jesus!!

This article is almost unbelievable, but...., yea, it is believable. These wounded troops are being punished en masse (sp?) for some wounded crying for help. No hearings, just punishment.

This is (repeat myself don't I) one mentally sick administation that is determined to destroy so much of what our ancestors worked and died for.

[bonito]

52. Kick

[w8liftinglady]

55. kicking for the night crew

[w8liftinglady]

56. kick to page 1

[tblue]

57. Wow. And they say we don't support the troops.

[BlueStorm]

58. So what is this thing with Walter Reed? n/t

[OneGrassRoot]

60. What about The View, Oprah....daytime audiences who

may not pay attention to real news. I'm sure Rosie and Joy would like to dig into this further on the air.

[w8liftinglady]

61. good idea...

[w8liftinglady]

62. I believe our actions had some impact today-this was covered on

Olbermann,Randi Rhodes, and Ed Schultz-maybe more that I am unaware of

[lyonn]

63. Hey, good news, they fired the top brass at Walter Reed

A hearing concerning this neglect needs to be arranged. Firing is not good enough, in fact more need to Go.
