Exactly.

That's why I've said I want to know what the letter said.

The only way it matters is if there is a graphic description or example of what kind of activities the nephew engaged in supposedly at the behest of his higher ups (as his story goes). If they were informed of unique information and disregarded---or more likely, if all dems, gathered together to plan to use this tidbit against the administration by eventually painting it as sanctioned behavior by the chain of command---then this doesn't mean anything.

It does not explain why Hackworth felt it necessary to facilitate getting photos to CBS....

I meant it only means anything if they were given unique information...unique as what was public back in January.

If they did NOT receive anything more then a general complaint, then it doesn't mean anything.

If the letter was a simple--my nephew's being investigated and it's NOT FAIR...big deal.

I would love to see these dems humiliated, but I can't see how a letter like that would matter or draw their attention.

"It does not explain why Hackworth felt it necessary to facilitate getting photos to CBS...."

If you consider that Hackworth loves to be in the news, for any reason, it falls into place. He's no longer accepted as a military "expert" due to his mistakes prior to and during the first Gulf War (He claimed 10,000 dead Americans would result from our kicking Saddam out of Kuwait, as I recall).

At this point, personally I view Hackworth as a gadfly more than anything else.
