[The Sons of Liberty]

I was in the military and know self sacrifice and commitment, to offer my life to protect this country .

I too was in the military and know self-sacrifice as well. These two Goody Two-Shoes had absolutely nothing to do with the military and their 'self-scrifice' was more an act of self-agrandizement. As for the military, I suspect they probably loath it, and are nothing but a couple of ultra libs. If they really want to serve mankind, then they should've stayed over there, rather than risking a pandemic here.

I have heard the party line that ebola can only be spread through contact and fluids, but to that I have a few questions:

If that is so, then why the full 'spacesuit' garb?

How did these two supposed 'professionals' become infected"

What threats and blackmail were imposed to get the spokesmen to parrot the Baghdad Bob response that everything is OK?

The ending of the movie 'Hot Zone' I believe was a napalm stike on the infected areas. Are we prepared to do this?

BINGO! Just because they are missionaries doesn't mean they were not glory seekers. Their missionary work failed because you can't treat people when you come down with the same Ebola disease despite taking all the precautions. And now the taxpayers have to bail you out from your reckless adventure in Ebola-land. Millions will be spent on transporting them to Emory University and treating them. CDC gets to have new Ebola research and treatment wings built....

Scorecard is:
CDC-----------------------------winning
Taxpayers------------------------losing
Two misguided missionaries-------losing

I totally agree. These people where not with the government and / or military and should not have been allowed to come back to the states.

I suspect that the WHO is wrong and that people infected with Ebola shed viral particles before they become symptomatic . The infected doctor hugged or touched his coworkers when he met them and probably became infected before they actually started to show symptoms.
