The Army is denying The Denver Post newspaper access to Fort Carson and to information on military activities in the wake of a Sunday article in The Post on military medical holds.

"We have temporarily suspended relations with The Denver Post as a direct result of Fort Carson not being given fair and balanced treatment in a story that appeared on Dec. 5, 2004," Lt. Col. David Johnson, the chief public affairs officer at the base, said Wednesday evening.

The front-page article examined claims from mentally and physically ill National Guard and Army Reserve members who say they are being denied access to quality care and are being shoved out of the military without disability pay.

Congress has been scrutinizing medical holds at bases across the country.

"All of those involved with the med-hold piece which ran yesterday are extremely disappointed with the outcome," Kim Tisor, a Fort Carson public affairs officer, wrote in a letter to reporters Monday. "Perhaps we would have been better off not commenting - it certainly would have saved us a lot of time."

Our founding father, General George Washington said it best, "If men are to be precluded from offering their sentiments on a matter which may involve the most serious an alarming consequences, reason is of no use to us; the freedom of speech may be taken away, and dumb and silent we may be lead, like sheep to the slaughter. We shall, therefore, preserve the sacred fire of liberty!"



I applaud the Denver Post for Preserving the Sacred Fire of Liberty! Thank you for your courage and candor! Don't allow anyone to bully you!
