>David had spend the past several days considering just how to implement
the JAG review process. Admiral Lasiter had made it clear what
the >consistancy would be, three officers not in JAG and two JAG officers
not related to the situation. David had been working on just what
procedures >would be used to call up one such review board, and how a
proceeding would be run. Hard work considering the complexity of the
situation- wanted >to provide a proper balance to JAG authority and did not

David would randomly collect a pool of names out of his system of officers
in good standing at several of the major bases where these panels would
take place. He would run a script that would randomly select the
participants that would be the 3 non-JAG officers and once the pool is used
at each base, a new pool would be selected. Obviously the JAG officers
selected would be selected case-by-case. He reserved the right to join in
any of the panels and take part as he felt appropriate and would definitely
be involved in the first few. All participants remain known only to David
and on the final report to CinC.
Procedurally, they would be mainly looking at recent or past cases--in
progress cases are not an option as they are current investigations but
stalled cases could be looked at if warranted. Case files would be read by
all participants with any necessary security info altered and then
discussion would take place. At that time law will be compared to actions
taken and an evaluation will be done. At that point David collects the
information and renders their decision to JAG and the CinC with further
recommendations or actions that need to be taken legal or otherwise.

He replied...
Joe,
I will need to catch up with the CinC and see if we can get permission to
start takedowns. I expect an update on Firehawk's actions immediately which
will also impact plans. Will get back to you. Big news coming soon.
David
