ChronicIllnet
is proud to have Mr. James
J. Tuite, III -the former congressional investigator under Senator Donald
Riegle- continue his pursuit of determining what happened to the troops while
deployed in the Gulf and how their exposures are tied to their present illnesses
and those of their close family members. Mr. Tuite begins his series of reports
with his editorial on "When Science and Politics Collide." We highly recommend
you read these reports to understand how chemicals may be important triggers in
the initiation of chronic illnesses.
