Good job on all the Hamdania information. I don't think Bacos gets a general discharge. I think he will remain enlisted until 2008. I read this somewhere, but couldn't find it for you, so you may want to leave it as is.
One question that's been nagging me throughout this case is:
WHERE IS SALEH GOWAD?
This whole case has centered on killing the wrong guy when the unit originally wanted Gowad. What was he wanted for, where is he now, and how was he connected with this family? Gowad was supposedly a neighbor of Awad. A cousin and a brother were also neighbors. Where does Gowad fit into this neighborhood/family scheme and where is he now?

Good question. He had been held in confinement. I'll bet Nancy Youssef knows. She seems to be able to walk right up to the door....
