Or possibly in the Soviet Union in the 1930's. > Our officers need help. They need it now. But the liberals cannot > hear their muffled cries. Unfortunately, none of our officers, active or retired, has publically asked for help. Until somebody goes on the record and a major news organization reports a purge there are no victims needing help and no problem needing a solution. You are the son of a journalist, and everyday you move closer to being a non-fiction essayist than a writer of fictional novels. You know that this is WHY we have a free press. If you cannot produce specifics.... Look, if you are 10% right this is a huge problem. But you cannot document it. Find a journalist to take the story and introduce her to some of your sources. And if it's true then SEVERAL good officers will have to give up break ordinary professional ethics and sacrifice careers by making a political complaint to the press. I CANNOT do anything about it. All I have is hearsay. Since you have direct reports, you could take your concerns to members of your state's congressional delegation. Of course, they will also probably want proof and some leads to start an investigation. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
