Knight Ridder investigative reporters Chris Adams and Alison Young wrote a lengthy news article claiming more than 13,000 veterans died during the past ten years while awaiting word from the Department of Veterans Affairs about their disability benefits.[...]
Unfortunately, the article vanished from dozens of Knight Ridder newspaper web sites yesterday during the time between when veterans sent links to Veterans for Common Sense and then VCS staff went to post the news to VCS.
An extensive search of the internet found only "XXXX" where the text of the article was previously distributed by Knight Ridder at more than one dozen news papers.
The scrubbing of the article raises very serious questions. Was the publication of the article a mistake? Was Knight Ridder pressured into retracting the investigation? VCS will follow this news closely.
