"They
[stories compiled by Wes Fager] are stories of
suicides and attempted suicides, rapes, forced
abortions, molestations, physical abuse, lawsuits,
court testimonies, and extensive documentation
of profound psychological abuse at Straight chapters
all over the country." Radley
Balko, FOX News
"Wes
has become an expert on such matters . . . he
worked with me in developing a conference that
would expose harms done by these programs."
Arnold Trebach,
J.D., Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Law and Social
Justice, American University, Washington DC,
author and former head of the Office of Civil
Rights, US Justice Department
 "Thanks
to Wesley Fager for commemorating the victims
of this abuse, who died for reasons unknown,
but whose deaths should not go unacknowledged."
StantonPeele,
J.D., Ph.D., and world-renowned author on addictions
"The
legal battle has been covered extensively on
TheStraights.com,
a site run by Wesley Fager, 58, of Oakton."
. . . "The story [says Fager] is not about
a man's penis pump--it's about child abuse."
Richard
Leiby, The Washington Post
"[Ambassador
Sembler's] holy image [of Straight] is compromised
by Wes Fager, a father who made discovering
the truth about Straight his crusade. . ."The
Semblers should be in jail for what they did.
But how could that be possible since the people
who should investigate them sit on the Advisory
Board for Drug Free America Foundation [Straight]?"
Fager concludes." Stefania Medetti of la
Rebubblica, Italy's top selling newspaper
"Articles
about the purloined pump [Ambassador Sembler's
penis pump] have been published in the St. Petersburg
Times and the Washington Post, and there's a
blog called Pumpgate
[published by Wes Fager] with links to court
documents and quotes from the players."

"Good
physicians know the bad
ones in their midst. Why
don't they point fingers"--Readers
Digest, Mar 08 in Outrageus
by Michael Crowley
|
Michael
Crowley gives case
histories of doctors
who have committed
medical malpractice
and yet state licensing
authorities have
failed to report
their histories
when asked for a
reference. The case
of Massachusetts'
doctor Jose Veizaga-Mendez
is highlighted.
Dr. Veizaga-Mendez
paid $652,000 for
mistakeningly attaching
surgical mesh to
a man's bladder.
The state investigated
the quality of care
he provided seven
other patients--two
of whom died. When
Massachusetts yanked
his license he moved
to Illinois and
tried to get a job
at the VA Medical
Center in Marion.
When his supervisors
called the Massachusetts
state licensing
authorities they
failed to disclose
Dr. Veizaga-Mendez's
malpractice history.
Last November the
Department of Veterans
Affairs announced
it was investigating
whether Veizaga-Mendez
was responsible
for the deaths of
10 patients. If
he is found responsible,
should not the licensing
authorities in Massachusetts
be also liable for
the harm they have
caused?
Crowley
states that the
problem is compounded
by "doctors
who give their colleagues
lenient treatment
in state disciplinary
proceedings."
So what can you
do if you want to
report medical malpractice
and are afaid that
doctors will take
care of their own.

Ray
Bradbury prepares to

Bradbury
files appeal. Mel Sembler
dropped his case against Ray
Bradbury on Dec. 28, 2006.
But he left one element in
and Judge Shames ruled on
it. Rummaging through Sembler's
trash is stalking. Ironically,
the Semblers left in the one
piece that is sure to keep
PumpGate in the public eye
for ever--can cops and reporters
rummage through your trash.
Will FBI agents be jailed
for stalking terrorists if
they lift DNA off a discarded
cigarette? Will thousands
of convicted drug dealers
be released on appeal because
of evidence gathered through
the trash. Has Judge Shames
written new law? On Jan 25,
2007 Ray Bradbury filed an
appeal with the clerk's office
to stop this outrageous ruling.
