Setting aside all the recent excitement that has kept this fabulous thread rolling past 1000, there's a new tidbit on its original subject. WND, of all place, is reporting the following on Lakin's new counsel:

He confirmed to WND that there will be new directions for the defense, but could not elaborate.

"All I can really say is the case is going to be handled differently from here on out," he said.

He said "all possible courses of action" will be reviewed within the military justice system.

Puckett confirmed that the judge in the case, Denise Lind, "rendered the proper legal ruling" regarding access to Obama’s birth and eligibility evidence.

"She was right on the facts and right on the law," he told WND.

He hinted about his plan of defense.

"All those issues concerning the president’s eligibility to hold office are completely irrelevant as to whether Lt. Col. Lakin was issued lawful orders and whether he obeyed them," he said.

Apologize if this has already been posted, but I can't wade through everything here. I am pleased, however, that LTC Lakin now appears to have competent representation that will focus on Lakin's best interests at this point.

What you left out from WND:

Officials with the United States Patriots Union earlier told WND the officer's arguments needed to go beyond the quest for the president's original birth certificate because that would reveal only some of the evidence needed.

The group, which says it linked Lakin up with Puckett, contends the unveiling of the president's birth certificate would prove one of two things: he was a dual citizen or there has been "the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on the American people."

"A birth certificate would only prove one of two things – 1) Barack Hussein Obama (Sr) is his bloodline birth father and Barack Jr. was thereby a 'dual citizen' rather than natural born citizen at birth. In this case, Obama fails constitutional requirements," a statement prepared by the organization said.

Or, in the second case, "Barack Hussein Obama (Sr) is NOT his stated birth father on the birth records, in which case Obama has committed the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on the American people."


Or he doesn't have have a long form BC from Hawaii that states he was born in a Hawaiian hospital.

And

They are right as they are acquiescing the point for now to the court because of its intransigence. The birth certificate may be important to help establish to who and where Obama was born, but it doesn't end it...that Obama is not a natural born citizen from what we know publicly. It's time to purely defend Lakin on Obama's lack of NBC status to hold presidential office.

Kinda sounds like Lt. Col. Lakin has been rescued from the birther cult and is currently being deprogrammed.

I wish him all the best. Hopefully, some sort of satisfactory settlement can be reached that will salvage what's left of his career.

(BTW...thanks for the HTML in your post...much more readable.)
