The 17 members of Congress will be who the 17 members of Congress were, probably along with the letters sent to them. Hackworth would have little incentive to name names who weren't told, since they could plausibly deny it and ask for proof. His credibility would be shot.

If I had to guess, I'd say that Specter and Santorum would logically be two of them, since Lawson is from PA. And if I were Lawson and wasn't getting a response from my own Republican senators, you can rest assured that I'd start sending letters to those who would have an axe to grind against the President --- Hillary!, Kennedy and KKK Byrd, to name a few. Especially since all 3 are on the Senate Armed Services Committee.

How can you prove you sent a letter unless you have the Post Office's security film? For the matter, how can senators prove that they DIDN'T receive the letters?

In releasing those pictures straight to the media, Hackworth made a concious decision to HARM the military. I will not put anything beyond him.

I've heard that it was Lawrence, then that it was Fredericks. I corrected - I thought - "Lawrence" to "Fredericks" yesterday in my notes on this fiasco. SHEESH! And what website is he going to publish them on?

And why exactly would he be afraid of losing his credibility? That would be about the same as me worrying about possibly losing my virginity.
