he's scheduled to have knee arthroscopy next week ? ( a non-invasive knee surgery, he doesn't know what his doctor will find out ).
I asked this question a short time ago, but now his medical procedure came into the picture. He assured me that this arthroscopy will not affect his deployment to Afghanistan in November or December, he says he'll be with Special Forces. He's 57, going through knee arthroscopy, and he says he'll be deployed soon and will join Australian Special Forces.....
I think this guy is a lying to me, and after this arthroscopy, he'll be deployed to his home once and for all.
I know for sure he's a Major, but I think he's a lying machine too, what do you think ?.

First blackwater and now this....

WASHINGTON - Army snipers hunting insurgents in Iraq were under orders to "bait" their targets with suspicious materials, such as detonation cords, and then kill whoever picked up the items, according to the defense attorney for a soldier accused of planting evidence on an Iraqi he killed. Gary Myers, an attorney for Sgt. Evan Vela, said Monday his client had acted "pursuant to orders."

The transcript of a court hearing for two of the three accused snipers makes several references to the existence of a classified "baiting" program but provides few details of how it works. A copy of the transcript was provided to The Associated Press by Vela's father.

The Washington Post, which first reported the existence of the "baiting" program, cited the sworn statement of Capt. Matthew P. Didier, the leader of a Ranger sniper scout platoon.

"Baiting is putting an object out there that we know they will use, with the intention of destroying the enemy," Didier said in the statement. "Basically, we would put an item out there and watch it. If someone found the item, picked it up and attempted to leave with the item, we would engage the individual as I saw this as a sign they would use the item against U.S. forces."

The Post said the program was devised by the Army's Asymmetric Warfare Group, which advises commanders on more effective methods in today's unconventional conflicts, including ways to combat roadside bombs.

Looks like there'll be over 4,000 dead US troops by Christmas, innocents sent to their grave over a lie about weapons of mass destruction. When will US citizens get a spine and speak out?
