Another excellent piece by Nat Helms.

Is the following fact or conjecture by Nat (given that Sokiloski was censured):

It was not Pool’s personal opinion. When the Marine Corps wants captains to have a public opinion they tell them what it is. That’s what happened to Pool. A colonel named Richard A Sokoloski told him to write it. Not only was he a colonel, Sokoloski was Chief of Staff of the 2nd Marine Division and Pool’s boss. In any event, Pool’s innocuous report wasn’t considered by anyone except the dead to be earthshaking news.

It makes sense, but I did not know this was a fact.

Thanks, Girl. That is a fact about Sokoloski and Pool.

Should have a piece in an hour or so from Nat on today. Sgt Maj Sax put another nail in the prosecution’s coffin even though he was their witness.

The govt says it will conclude either Friday or Monday
although it still has 43 witness on its list. Not sure how long the defense plans to present its case.
