From WND:

Before contacting Hackworth, Lawson said he also went to the Red Cross, members of Congress in both parties and Fox News Channel host Bill O'Reilly.

Bill O'Reilly? There is a part of me that likes this. You'd of thought he'd run away with this info, considering his self-rightous indignation that he constantly spews

I believe the Red Cross report supported the existing efforts of the Military to weed out problems. These other cutesy organizations work based on their own criteria.

Lawson is a blackmailer in my book.

Frederick's family tried to persuade the Army to discharge Frederick and take away his pension, arguing that his actions were the result of orders given by others. Frederick's uncle, Bill Lawson, a retired Air Force master sergeant, said in an interview last week that the family also sent letters for help to 17 members of Congress.

When the Army refused and the members of Congress replied with form letters, Lawson contacted retired Col. David Hackworth, a syndicated columnist, who helped the family get in touch with Mary Mapes, a producer for CBS's 60 Minutes II, which broke the story.

"We gave [the military] the opportunity to have none of this come out," Lawson said. "They could have avoided all of this."
