		<description><![CDATA[John Stanton has posted a follow-up piece noting that the kidnapped social scientist, Issa Salomi, was living off base at the time of his abduction.  According to John&#8217;s sources, this is not unique, and non-approved absences from base are, in some areas, &#8220;normal&#8221;.  While John&#8217;s piece gives us more details, a much more damning piece [...]]]></description>
