How is it solved?
The U.S. District Court clerk spoke with the friend of CPT Rhodes who prepared and faxed the letter for her. The clerk and Judge Land were convinced they were speaking with someon who was representing Connie Rhodes. They’re expecting an original, signed letter from CPT Rhodes herself when she arrives in Iraq. Until then, they’ve accepted the facsimilie as authentic and entered it into the court records.
I suspect we’ll find out today that the fax activity report for 9/18 shows a fax sent around 13:58. What’s currently floating around the Internet is apparently the fax activity report from 9/19.
