Latest from Stuart Ramsey:

Changing so often it is becoming more confusing by the moment...says he can't confirm anything right now...initial reports were that the attackers were two Kuwaiti translators but that they have now been accounted for and a soldier is missing...the inevitable conclusion is that it may have been carried out by a soldier...they're no longer looking for Kuwaiti nationals, but that could change quickly...Every tent now has a guard on it and armor is guarding each corner...tents are being checked regularly...earlier sirens alerting the base to ground attack have now signaled the "all clear" and the hunt is on for this missing soldier...

...more...

The reports that they're looking for a soldier is originating from the radio traffic that Stuart is listening to...the soldier in question was guarding material (including grenades) and the soldier is missing along with other ordinance...not jumping to a conclusion that it is definitely the soldier who committed the crime, but they can't find him...sat phone just went out...

I think it is either the soldier who did it or the soldier who was guarding this ordinance was taken out and the perp used the ordinance he was guarding to commit the attack.

Securing the perimeter should be SOP.

If he is innocent, I hope and pray they find him soon! One of the last things we need is a repeat of fragging!!!

We need TRUST between the enlisted and the officers!
