Tom Foley's campaign website describes "dodging rockets and mortars" as "regular parts of the routine".
'Donning bulletproof vests, dodging rockets and mortars, and avoiding IEDs became regular parts of the routine,' says Foley's campaign website.
("Foley's Iraq Experience: What's Fact, What's Fiction?", Connecticut Post, 7/10/10)
But the Connecticut Post today reported Foley regularly contradicted those statements, later saying " I never once ran into a situation that I considered hostile."
"But in public comments made upon his return from the job, Foley downplayed the danger, said he often traveled around Baghdad without an escort and "never once ran into a situation that I considered hostile."
