This is just more cover ups to cover up the cover ups that has been going on since the 1950's. Looks like we need the people who lived out there during these times write this story, a story written by real people with the real facts. Whoops forgot they are all dead now.

Gee, isn't it surprising that so many people who lived at Dugway during the outdoor testing are dead -- considering that outdoor bio-testing ceased nearly 40 years ago!
That would mean that most of those involved at the merest management level would be in their 70s or later.
Yep, a young age! Very unusual that someone in their 70s or later would be dead, by golly!
I wouldn't trust anyone involved in the tests to write the facts. Memories fail, and many would have a vested interest in the Redneck Lottery (read lawsuit).
Oh, and let's not forget that testing was conducted during a time when smoking and excessive drinking were common. Even those who didn't smoke were exposed to it in their office.
But then, it's not quite so easy to sue your co-workers as it is Uncle Sam -- or makes such a good conspiratorial story, does it?
