It's amazing what a little exposure in the corporate media can do. Within a few hours after NBC ran a nice little story during Thursday's Nightly News on the issue of the military’s testing of body armor, as well as on Friday morning's Today show and with Keith Olbermann on Countdown, Senators Hillary Clinton and Jim Webb announced their support of an investigation into the issue.
But Thursday's and Friday's pieces were just teasers; NBC plans to air a much meatier report TODAY, Sunday, on Dateline NBC (airs at 7 p.m. Eastern; check your local listings).
UPDATE: An explosion and fire destroyed portions of the H.P. White Testing Laboratories, where the aborted testing of Dragon Skin was conducted in May 2006. Whether any records relating to that testing were destroyed is not known at this time.
