LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Safety is not a concern

Editor:

I have kept myself interested in the messy situation at the Tooele nerve gas incinerator.

How can the Army be so blatantly wrong and cruel to the Yarbrough family?

The recent disclosure by the Army was obviously reluctant and delayed until it was obvious they had tried to cover it up internally by the contractor, then again internally by the Army, but never were criminal investigators involved who would have found many participants.

The Army has Mr. David Yarbrough in prison where they want him, so they bully the nerve agent through the Tooele incinerator at a high rate without him around to clearly explain the unsafe procedures and equipment used on the incineration stack that is dumping contaminants on Tooele County.

Safety is not a concern, rather bonuses for meeting the schedule. Where then is the ultimate concern?
