As you’ll recall, Gen Mattis requested the IG investigate leaks in this case. That was six months ago and there’s been no word since.

I’ve written the IG’s office twice, hoping for an update. Nada.

Maybe I should e-mail again and pretend to be Tim McGirk. That might get some answers.

His answer was NO to all three, but, hey, I’ll come up with a new one for Mattis to consider?

This is maddening. Can he do that?

"CTC is very pleased to have been selected for the critical task of supporting our nation’s special operations warriors in maintaining a technological edge on the battlefield,” said Daniel R. DeVos, President & CEO of CTC. “Work performed under this contract falls under CTC’s Force Readiness core capability area.”

DeVos is President & CEO of Ameriserve Financial (stock ASRV);

AmeriServ Financial, Inc. (the Company) is a bank holding company, organized under the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law. The Company became a holding company upon acquiring all of the outstanding shares of AmeriServ Financial Bank (the Bank) on January 5, 1983. The Company's other wholly owned subsidiaries include AmeriServ Trust and Financial Services Company (the Trust Company) formed in October 1992, AmeriServ Life Insurance Company (AmeriServ Life) formed in October 1987, and AmeriServ Associates, Inc. (AmeriServ Associates), formed in January 1997.

He's in the financial business, not military hardware research.

I am curious for the reason for CTC. The DOD already has SBIR/STTR.

McCann wrote that Stone was "derelict in the performance of his duties," and negligently failed to inform his bosses that the way the Iraqis were killed posed a "possible use of force issue."

Where do scumbags like McCann come from?

A final decision will be made by Lt. Gen. James Mattis, the commanding general overseeing the case who will also decide whether to dismiss the other charges.

Yep, we will soon see what the great Lt. Gen. Mattis is made of these days....

By the way did you laugh and shake your head at the way this simple mouse, Thomas Watkins, ended his AP story? The typical “women and children” clause is in there, of course, but absolutely no mention that a Marine was blown in half and another seriously wounded by insurgents and collaborators in those houses.

Hmmmmm. Wonder if CTC has an office in Johnstown? Wonder how much they’ve contributed to Murtha’s “campaigns”?

Looks like primarily R&D, but pretty good sized. I’ll check into it more later, got lots to do today.

This is Looneyland. So the “bosses” heard a story from Time magazine that was different than what they heard from down the chain.

Well, the LCpl Sharratt hearing exposed a major part of the Time story as BS. Forensics showed that the four men were NOT herded into a closet and executed.

So what did Capt Stone fail to report?

I apparently was reading something old or erroneous in my original search about DeVos being CEO of Ameriserv, as he's listed as a director in at least the last 4 10Ks.

That company is tanking fast, but they do have unionized employees, and invest union steelworkers funds in projects that union members work on....probably a coincidence. At least the union will save their jobs when the bank implodes under their own weight.../s

I’ve heard all about the ringmaster, Lt. Gen. Mattis; now let’s see him hustle this circus up and fold the tent.

There’s an echo in here.

Sometimes those echoes just pop up. :-)

I’m sure there wouldn’t be any relatives, friends, drinking buddies or campaign donors of al-murthawi on the board. Nah, there couldn’t be! /s
