Thanks Marc for accepting the posts.

I told Max that there should be some sort of detox center fo those of us who are very involved in reporting/analyzing HTS matters.

There is a play being written on this: not kidding.

Hi John,

For some insane reason I found your comment in the Spam bin! That’s totally weird! Anyway, I’m getting a page load error at the link, but I’ll keep trying.

I suspect it will go on (and on, and on,…..) for quite a while (wry grin).

I offered a copy of the 2007 Briefing to LTG Kimmons that I sent you to other posters. He is this http://www.dami.army.pentagon.mil/ which should answer questions about whether this is intel or not.

Oh, it will go on in some form. Story will only go on. Don’t forget Ayala gets sentrenced on May 8, 2009. MS Media will be present.

Interesting, John, and many thanks for posting it. I’ll be intrigued to get the final resolution to this entire story.

Latest from PM Fondacaro (two days ago)

“HTS Teammates,

In the interest of giving you all the good news, all at the same
time, I am forced to ask you all for one more day of patience and
forbearance as we chase the last action through to approval at
Department of the Army level. Issues we are after are higher pay caps
(which are already resolved), danger pay and compensatory time. The
responsibility to get the right answers to you is mine alone. In that
same vein, that we are late doing so is my fault alone too. We are
breaking a lot of glass along the way, but its glass that’s long overdue
to be broken. The next time we answer it will be complete and it will
be right. Grant us one more pass on your already generous and patient
forbearance. In the interim, please throw any and all rocks at me.

Sincerely

Steve Fondacaro

PM”
