(SALEM, Ore.) - LaVena Johnson was a proud American serving her nation in uniform when she met her untimely death on an American military base in Iraq.

LaVena Johnson is gone but not
forgotten, her advocates want the
investigation reopened

In spite of extensive injuries, evidence of a severe beating and sex abuse, and her body being lit on fire, the U.S. Army deemed her case a "suicide".

The Army, which has plenty of problems over sexual assault within its ranks, apparently didn't believe any of the injuries LaVena Johnson had suffered prior to her death were caused by a second person or persons.

A simple fact when it comes to suicide, in addition to all of the evidence, is that statistically, black women are among the least likely groups to commit this act in the first place.

Tim King's recent article about the tragic death of LaVena caused a stir when it was published December 18th 2008.


As it turns out, LaVena died at a base in Iraq where Tim spent several weeks over the past summer while covering the war there. (Tim King Joins Radio Free Nation Tonight to Discuss LaVena Johnson Case)

Many compare the death of LaVena Johnson to the tragic loss of NFL sports star Pat Tillman. His death by friendly fire has been accompanied by a whole series of lies from the American government. Our citizen's military service is of paramount importance and accountability will do the federal government far more good than harm.
