Dear Military Families,

We received the email below from Michael Bronner, a producer for 60 Minutes, and spoke with him as well. He is looking to speak with families who have concerns about recruiting practices (for new recruits) AND re-enlistment schemes/pressures in the military. If you would like to email or speak with him, his contact information is below.

Thank you!

In Peace and Solidarity, Nancy Lessin and Charley Richardson, for MFSO www.mfso.org www.bringthemhomenow.org

I am a producer at 60 Minutes and am working on a story about military recruiting. I have heard anecdotally about several concerns regarding recruiting methods employed by all of the armed forces, and am wondering whether there is anyone at MFSO working specifically on these issues, or any families with relevant experiences they might be willing to share.

Please reach me by phone though the contacts listed below.

Thanks very much.

No we should give them a taste of their own medicine. All freepers should come up with believable but false stories that we feed to these guys and try to get interviews with them and when interviewed tell them that we forged the stories like they did. Currupt their research.

Good for you!

When we put these lying rats in the spotlight of truth, they may back away from doing what they have been doing.

If not we keep exposing them.

Your exactly right. In fact according to Rush and the American Spectator (can someone find this piece?) the DNC and the Kerry Campaign had these documents over 6 weeks ago...and also had questions about their authenticity. Despite this concern, which CBS was informed of, CBS still ran with it.

The new spin is that Rove is behind this as McAwful is already claiming this...of course, never mentioning that his DNC had these documents for 6 weeks and still turned them over to CBS so they could do the damage to Bush.

There is deliberate collusion here, between the DNC and CBS...and this is now the bi story they are going to try and hide.
