An angry crowd accused military officials of a coverup during a hearing into the spraying of Agent Orange and other defoliants at a New Brunswick military base in the 1950s and 1960s.

Officials from the Department of National Defence, Veterans Affairs Canada and Canadian Forces Base Gagetown tried to downplay health hazards on Thursday, at the first public briefing on the issue in more than 30 years.

The hearing at the base followed a CBC News report that revealed Agent Purple, considered three times more toxic than the cancer-linked Agent Orange, was also sprayed on the base in 1966.

Why is this important? Well to me it's very important. We were based there (as a family) during the '60s. My Mum, my Dad, my 2 siblings and myself. Oh, let's not forget, at that time, my mum was pregnant with my youngest brother. This crap seeps into the groundwater and pollutes everything it comes into contact with. This affects not only me, but my family and friends that, without any consent, were subjected to this CRAP!/END RANT

1. Think about all of the Vietnamese that were subjected to this crap.....

...for 15 or more years, not to mention all of the US troops that got dosed over the same time period.

And guess who helped cover it up? Yep...Colin Powell.
