		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[John Stanton has just released a story at Cryptome that Issa T. Salome, a 60 year old HTT member, was kidnapped in Iraq by insurgents in January.  John argues that this shows that the HTS is failing to find qualified candidates, train them properly and, then, guard them.  Personally, I am not so sure about [...]]]></description>
