  It is been known for more than a decade that BALQSOs (broad absorption line
quasars) are highly attenuated in the X-ray regime compared to other quasars,
especially in the soft band ($< $ 1 keV). Using X-ray selection techniques we
have found "soft X-ray loud" BALQSOs that, by definition, have soft X-ray (0.3
keV) to UV ($3000 \AA$) flux density ratios that are higher than typical nonBAL
radio quiet quasars. Our sample of 3 sources includes one LoBALQSO (low
ionization BALQSO) which are generally considered to be the most highly
attenuated in the X-rays. The three QSOs are the only known BALQSOs that have
X-ray observations that are consistent with no intrinsic soft X-ray absorption.
The existence of a large X-ray luminosity and the hard ionizing continuum that
it presents to potential UV absorption gas is in conflict with the ionization
states that are conducive to line driving forces within BAL winds (especially
for the LoBALs).
